Business leaders and IT managers from SMBs gathered to discuss a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant to them.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    The presentation was led by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/stephanelortie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#1a1a2e; border-bottom: 1px solid #F6861E; text-decoration:none;\">St\u00e9phane Lortie<\/a><\/strong>, 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.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n\n  <h2>Dynamic discussions throughout the evening<\/h2>\n\n  <figure class=\"img-float-left\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.groupesl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/evenement-cybersecurite-groupe-sl-10-avril-2024-2.jpg\" alt=\"Groupe SL cybersecurity presentation\" loading=\"lazy\">\n    <figcaption>An interactive and dynamic presentation<\/figcaption>\n  <\/figure>\n\n  <p>\n    From the start, St\u00e9phane 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.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    Two experts from the team were present to answer questions, share their field experience, and provide practical insight into real situations.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"speakers\">\n    <div class=\"speaker-card\">\n      <div class=\"speaker-name\">Kristy Hoobin<\/div>\n      <div class=\"speaker-title\">Senior IT Infrastructure Consultant<br>Conseill\u00e8re senior en infrastructure TI<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"speaker-card\">\n      <div class=\"speaker-name\">Jean-Denis Tremblay<\/div>\n      <div class=\"speaker-title\">IT Director<br>Directeur TI<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>\n    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.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    Genevi\u00e8ve Michaud, Olivier Loiselle, and several other team members were also present for the occasion.
