Telus just announced a massive $70 billion investment in Canada's digital infrastructure over the next few years. In this episode of Cybersecurity Unmasked, we unpack what this means for small and medium-sized businesses—the opportunities are huge, but so are the cybersecurity risks.
This infrastructure boom promises faster fiber networks, rural connectivity, and advanced AI data centers that will fundamentally change how Canadian businesses operate. But here's the catch: more speed and connectivity means a bigger attack surface. Without strategic IT network management and infrastructure support, businesses risk exposing themselves faster than they can secure their systems.
We break down how this investment removes traditional barriers—cloud hesitation disappears when latency isn't an issue, and AI tools that seemed out of reach become everyday affordable solutions. Combined with complete enterprise technology and business IT solutions and advanced cybersecurity and threat protection services, Toronto businesses can actually compete on innovation rather than just location.
What we cover:
The bottom line: rushing to adopt new tech on faster infrastructure without proper planning is like building on quicksand. We explain how phased cloud adoption and managed IT support let you capture opportunities without drowning in complexity.

Canada just committed $10.3 million to cybersecurity innovation through the CSCP 2025 program. In this episode of Cybersecurity Unmasked, we explain what this federal funding means for Toronto businesses and how to position yourself for the next application cycle.
The threat landscape is exploding—ransomware victims jumped 67% in early 2025, with criminals using ransomware-as-a-service to launch attacks easier than ever. This is why professional IT infrastructure and network management combined with complete business technology solutions and advanced threat protection and security services has become critical for survival.
We break down the three funding streams (resilience, innovation, and collaboration), eligibility requirements, and matching fund strategies. Toronto businesses could access up to $150K annually, and your proximity to U of T, TMU, and York gives you a competitive edge through research partnerships.
But the real takeaway: whether you get funding or not, implement multi-factor authentication and the 3-2-1 backup rule today. 60% of small businesses close within 6 months of a major cyber attack.
