Check icba.ca/coursesConstruction had another rough year in 2023 dealing with cybercrime. According to a study by encryption software firm NordLocker, construction ranked as the top industry target for cyberattacks in two of the past three years. On average a Canadian business sees 40 cyber-attacks each year. When cyberattacks like data breaches and hacks occur, they can result in devastating damage. That type of event could mean the loss of your database, your contracts, your proposals, or your business operations, meaning business disruptions, lost revenue, and litigation. With the increasing reliance on technology, the risks you expose your business to increase as well! Cyber exposures aren’t going away and, in fact, continue to escalate. It is important to remember that no organization is immune to the impact of cybercrime. Protecting your digital assets should be a number one priority. Businesses need to be prepared if a cyberattack strikes.This free 1.5-hour session will cover: • Data breach coverage• Business interruption loss reimbursement • Cyber extortion defense • Legal support • Cyber liability insuranceJoin us and Nikki Keith, Principal at Wilson M.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY #148: Suicide PreventionThis month at ICBA Wellness, we’re looking at suicide prevention – ways to help both ourselves and others, and to connect to important services at the moment of need.In the past year, Canada took a giant leap forward with the launch of 9-8-8, a national suicide crisis hotline, staffed 24-7 (we’ve written about the genesis of 9-8-8, and the work of MP Todd Doherty before).But it often still takes a friend or loved one noticing a sign or a comment or a vibe or a feeling that something isn’t right – and then saying something. Some of the signs that experts say to watch out for:• Talking about wanting to die, great guilt or shame, or being a burden to others• Feeling empty, hopeless, trapped, or having no reason to live, extremely sad, more anxious, agitated, or full of rage, or being in unbearable emotional or physical pain• Changing behavior, such as making a plan or researching ways to die, withdrawing from friends, saying goodbye, giving away important items, making a will, taking dangerous risks, displaying extreme mood swings, eating or sleeping more or less, or using drugs or alcohol more often.For each other’s sakes, let’s keep our eyes and ears open. Each week, ICBA’s Jordan Bateman reflects on what we’ve learned as we participate in ICBA’s Workplace Wellness Program. ICBA’s Workplace Wellness Program is helping more than 100 companies and more than 10,000 construction professionals better understand mental health. This program is free for all ICBA members – check out icba.ca/wellness for details. ... See MoreSee Less
