Cyber resilience is emerging as the cornerstone of any artificial intelligence project, as <\/strong>the integration of these technologies multiplies attack surfaces and introduces major systemic risks. Data from Statistics Canada analyzed by Prompt<\/strong> reveals that in Quebec, financially motivated incidents (theft and ransom demands) have skyrocketed, accounting for 39.9%<\/strong> of all attacks. This aggressive monetization has caused the province\u2019s total recovery costs to soar to $315 million<\/strong>. Read the full report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a tight market where 44.9% of Quebec businesses have no dedicated<\/strong> cybersecurity<\/strong> staff<\/strong> and 70.9%<\/strong> report a skills shortage, Prompt\u2019s Cybersecurity Certification<\/strong> Program is a strategic solution.

      Up to 50% of eligible expenses to formalize process compliance (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, 42001, TGV, CMMC, PCCC) and to firmly structure the deployment of software development initiatives (minimum requirements: intellectual property must be 100% owned by the company registered in Quebec).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
