Netskope Threat Labs just released our 2025 Canada Threat Report - Social engineering is rising in Canada, with the number of users clicking on phishing links increasing by 3.4x year-over-year to 4.9 out of every 1,000 each month.  - GenAI apps are still rapidly growing in popularity in Canada, with a 3.3x year-over-year increase in the number of users, causing a proportional rise in the amount of sensitive data (including intellectual property, secrets, regulated data, and source code) sent to genAI apps. - Personal app use is rampant in Canadian enterprises, with more than one in five users (22%) uploading data to personal apps, with regulated data being the most common type of sensitive data uploaded to personal apps.

Gartner is clear: the future of cybersecurity is preemptive. According to their latest research, preemptive solutions will make up 50% of IT security spending by 2030. . At Bell Cyber, we’re already building that future today. Our Autonomous SOC harnesses AI-driven automation to detect, analyze, and contain threats in real time—delivering outcomes that traditional detection-and-response models simply can’t match. In an age where attackers are using GenAI, waiting to respond is no longer enough. Defense must be immediate, adaptive, and preemptive. That’s what we deliver. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g6i48RNe #BellCyber #Cybersecurity #AI #AutonomousSOC #FutureOfSecurity

Cyber threats don’t show up with name tags. They’re scattered across your endpoints, networks, cloud workloads, and identity systems — hidden in plain sight. To catch a real attack, you need to connect the dots across all telemetry — instantly. At Stratejm, a Bell Canada company, we’ve removed the guesswork. Our Automated Enrichment builds context in real time across your entire environment — no swivel chair needed. 🔎 No more digging ⚡ No more delay 🤖 AI correlates. You act. The outcome? 🚫 Fewer false positives 🚀 Rapid response 🧠 Confident decisions If your SOC is still playing catch-up — it’s already too late. It’s time to automate.

Rubrik was quite the grand finale to this round of cybersecurity-related earnings reports. Don't get me wrong – I'm looking forward to SailPoint's report next week, but I don't know how you can top this. 38% subscription ARR growth. Net new ARR up 23% YoY. Improving profitability. Increased guidance. Raise your hand if you expected them to keep posting results like this after almost a year as a public company. Yeah, definitely not me. It's really too bad some people still don't want to claim them as a cybersecurity company... Cybersecurity or not, let's dig in on two key points: → These results are impressive beyond cybersecurity Rubrik's 49% top line revenue growth is among the best in the entire software industry, not just cybersecurity or infrastructure (however you want to group them). The average LTM revenue growth rate across the software industry is ~15%. Forecasts are looking even worse at ~12%. Rubrik is a glass of water in the middle of a desert for a software industry that's starving for growth this quarter. → Why identity resilience is a big deal Their new identity resilience was a big topic of discussion on the call. It's worth clarifying what the product does and why it matters while it's still new. First, what the product does: it backs up an restores identity infrastructure like Microsoft Entra (fka Active Directory). Oversimplified, but let's stick with that. What it *doesn't* do is important from a competitive standpoint: Rubrik identity resilience does not compete with workforce identity platforms like SailPoint, CyberArk, Microsoft Entra, Ping, etc. It helps make a company's operational identity infrastructure more resilient. Very, very important distinction. So, why does identity resilience matter? Because you're literally #%$~'ed if core identity systems go down. If a company's entire workforce can't log in to most apps, basically everything grinds to a halt. Backup and recovery for core infrastructure like directories (which are the back end for lots of authentication and authorization activity) has been surprisingly brittle (historically). LDAP is the foundation for directories, which is different than a regular relational database. Lots of operations teams just use scripts to run periodic backups. This works, but it's a pretty casual process for such an important function. Rubrik's product is like the Ferrari version of backing up and restoring identity infrastructure. They build and maintain the product, store the data along with all your other backups in the cloud, and give you all the other goodness of the full platform. I'd take that over scripts or a point product any day. Nobody cares how much money your script is saving the company when people can't log in. -- This was a near-perfect start to the new fiscal year for Rubrik. It seems like they could hold up for the rest of the year, too. Bipul Sinha and team have got it rolling as a public company.
