An employee surfing on the internet is a great risk to corporate security since it can easily lead to computer virus infection which in turn leads to corporate data leak/loss. For example, many of the websites these days lure in individuals with simple things such as free entertainment. The malicious codes embedded on these websites will often install Trojan horse type virus (which includes key loggers and backdoor access to corporate computers) without the user ever knowing. This leaves the entire company open for a wide range of criminal exploits.

Financial fraud is a multi-billion dollar business in Canada. Government, police, and professional associations are trying to contain the problem. Nonetheless, reports of ATM card reading scams, credit card and identity theft, telephone phishing, phony investments, mortgage fraud, and money laundering in its various forms continue to make headlines across the country and taking their toll on the economy.

Canadians are bombarded by information on how to minimize their exposure to these risks. However, protecting PIN numbers and passwords and shredding personal information is often not enough of a defence against organized groups bent on stealing your identity and access to wealth.  Most people are unaware of the sophistication and technological ability behind these crimes, how fast these crimes can happen, or how long it can take and what it might cost to recover from it. Most companies do not realize that the data mining they do has value well beyond customer behaviour.  Customer data, purchase histories, and credit card numbers are all valuable and easily available around the world.

Do you want to understand what resources are offered by the government, police, and industry across the country to combat these threats?
