Cybersecurity in 2025: Action Starts with Awareness
In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity has evolved into a strategic priority that touches every part of an organization. From small businesses to municipalities, Alberta’s threat environment is shaped by global forces like:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Cloud Infrastructure
- Digital Identity
- Geopolitics
While these trends are reshaping how we think about cybersecurity, the path to resilience begins with simple, consistent actions. That’s why CyberAlberta’s October campaign focuses on practical steps organizations can take today to reduce risk and strengthen habits across teams. We encourage every organization to Pause. Pause. Think. Act Wisely.
