Cybersecurity: Essential for Ottawa Businesses in 2026
Infinity Network Solutions brings 20 years of cybersecurity expertise to Ottawa
In June 2025, one in 10 businesses was expected to experience a cyberattack. Just six months later, projections rose sharply: one in four businesses could face a breach within the coming year.
The growing threat isn’t limited to sophisticated hackers. Approximately 95 percent of breaches begin with human error—an employee clicking a malicious link or visiting a compromised website. For business owners and managers, the message is clear: incidents are no longer a question of if, but when.
Proactive cybersecurity planning, combined with rapid containment measures, plays a critical role in limiting damage and protecting operations. For many organizations, that means working with an experienced technology partner. That’s where Infinity Network Solutions (INS) comes in.
Established in Owen Sound, INS brings two decades of experience supporting businesses across Ontario. Since 2006, the company has grown from a one-person operation into a team of more than 30 professionals serving hundreds of clients province-wide.
“Our focus has always been on relationships,” says CEO Tom Bovingdon. “We know our clients by name, and we’re invested in their success.”
Keeping Pace with a Changing Threat Landscape
Bovingdon believes success in IT requires continuous learning and adaptation. INS has expanded its cybersecurity capabilities with dedicated specialists, advanced monitoring tools and systems designed to prevent breaches and quickly isolate attacks if they occur.
Alongside cybersecurity services, INS maintains a full-service Help Desk and project teams that support infrastructure upgrades and long-term technology planning.
A Locally Minded Technology Partner
Despite its growth, the company remains grounded in small-town Ontario values. Bovingdon believes that mindset translates well to Ottawa’s business community.
“Partnerships and relationships matter just as much as the services delivered,” he says. “Even in a larger city, businesses value honesty, transparency and having a technology partner they can trust.”
INS reinforces that approach through community engagement, offering webinars and presentations through Chambers of Commerce and industry associations to help organizations better manage cyber risks.
Now based in Ottawa, Bovingdon says the company is committed to growing alongside the region’s business community—bringing enterprise-level expertise while maintaining a personal, relationship-first approach.
For Ottawa organizations navigating an increasingly complex digital landscape, strong cybersecurity is the foundation for resilience, stability and continued growth.
