Cyber attacks aren’t just rising — they’re transforming. And most Canadian companies aren’t even close to ready.

In this eye-opening conversation, cybersecurity expert Dominic Vogel breaks down the new reality facing Canadian organizations as we head into 2026. From AI-powered attacks to skyrocketing ransomware incidents to the shocking fragility of our digital systems, Dominic explains why cyber risk is no longer a technical issue — it’s a leadership issue.

We cover:

• Why attackers don’t need your data to be valuable — only valuable to you
• How AI is supercharging cybercrime at a scale we’ve never seen before
• Why Canadian SMEs and SMBs are now prime targets
• The truth about cyber insurance (and why claims are increasingly denied)
• The confidence gap between what leaders think they’re protected from and what’s actually happening
• The three moves every organization should make before 2026
• Why “one wrong click” can bring a business to its knees
• How to build cyber-resilient culture without fear or overwhelm

This is a must-listen episode for founders, executives, boards, public-sector leaders, and anyone building or leading an organization in Canada.

Cybersecurity isn’t optional anymore. And after this conversation, you’ll understand why.
