ITworldcanada says that, "According to RCMP statistics, cybercrime is up 65% from last year. And a large number of hacking events go unreported each year, as companies are afraid of going public with such information. Cyber attacks have gotten more sophisticated ... In one denial of service attack (investigated by the RCMP) a company was losing $100,000 a day." SETP offers its clients protection from all kinds of cybercrime.
