April 9, 2026 event: cyberattacks and SMBs, a look back at the evening

On April 9, Groupe SL brought together its clients for an evening dedicated to cybersecurity. A look back at an open, welcoming, and highly engaging event.

It was in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that the event Cyberattacks and SMBs: how to reduce risks before they become financial took place on April 9, 2026, at Groupe SL’s offices in Varennes. Business leaders and IT managers from SMBs gathered to discuss a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant to them.

The presentation was led by Stéphane Lortie, Director of Sales and co-founder of Groupe SL, who guided participants through current cybersecurity challenges for SMBs: growing threats real financial impacts and real-world cases experienced by businesses like theirs.

Dynamic discussions throughout the evening

From the start, Stéphane encouraged participants to ask questions during the presentation rather than waiting until the end. This approach created a highly dynamic flow to the evening: discussions unfolded naturally, driven by the real situations shared in the room. Feedback from guests on this format was very positive.

Two experts from the team were present to answer questions, share their field experience, and provide practical insight into real situations.

Kristy and Jean-Denis helped create a space of trust where participants felt comfortable sharing their own challenges, whether related to identified vulnerabilities decisions to be made or priorities to set. Their answers were always grounded in the realities of SMBs, making the discussions particularly relevant.

Geneviève Michaud, Olivier Loiselle, and several other team members were also present for the occasion. For them, it was above all an opportunity to reconnect with clients in person and take the time to talk in a context different from day-to-day operations.

A warm atmosphere and meaningful connections

Beyond the content, it was the atmosphere of the evening that stood out to the team. Cocktails, appetizers, and networking shaped the event, creating a setting that encouraged informal conversations and genuine connections.

For the entire Groupe SL team, these events represent much more than a presentation. They are an opportunity to reconnect with clients, hear about their realities, and better understand what they experience every day. These moments are valuable, and the team always leaves feeling energized.

And the next one is already in the works

The Groupe SL team is already preparing the next event. Stay tuned: it will once again be a great opportunity to connect, learn, and exchange with business leaders and IT professionals.
