Safeguarding against cybersecurity threats - Yahoo News Canada

According to a 2026 report by Fortinet, Canada is the 2nd most targeted nation in the world when it comes to ransomware. The increasing sophistication of these attacks is largely attributed to the integration of artificial intelligence, which has amplified both their impact and speed.

Rafi Wanounou and Jack Pagano, two of Fortinet's senior leaders in central Canada, are expected to provide insights during an upcoming interview with journalist Jaden Lee-Lincoln. The discussion will focus on emerging threats and defensive strategies.

The cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with organizations and governments worldwide working to develop robust protection mechanisms against increasingly complex digital threats.
