How a global crisis is a playground for cybercrime | Alex Frappier & Martin Kyle

The PayPod

The COVID-19 digital environment is demonstrating the extreme importance of protecting payments and securing transactions. From individual to business, Canadians have had to shift their habits from in-person to digital, relying on online shopping, using new video platforms, like Zoom for meetings, and even receiving private advice, from health to finance, digitally. With this, we are seeing a rise in cybercrime as fraudsters are quick to take advantage of this shift -- everything from fake websites to phishing attacks to selling government cheques on the dark web. How do Canadian businesses and individuals stay protected as their whole life moves online? Host Cyrielle Chiron is joined by Alex Frappier, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Training at the CanCyber Foundation and Martin Kyle, Payments Canada’s CISO, to explore current cyberspace issues and the importance of protecting against fraudsters.
