July 28, 2026
Back to all postsRecently, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an advisory emphasizing the importance of isolating critical systems during a cyberattack. This advice comes in response to a surge in ransomware attacks that have disrupted businesses globally. In the event of an attack, separating essential systems can limit its spread and minimize downtime. The advisory highlights the need for robust incident response plans, regular system backups, and employee training as key strategies to strengthen a company's cybersecurity posture. This is particularly relevant for Canadian businesses given our increasing reliance on digital infrastructure and the escalating threat landscape. The advice from CISA underscores the urgency for SMB owners and IT managers to prioritize cybersecurity measures to protect their businesses from costly disruptions.
