Following the containment of a recent cybersecurity breach, Calgary Public Library has now concluded its investigation and is focusing on operational recovery as it moves toward restoring full services. The Library’s Technology Team and existing cybersecurity partners engaged a Microsoft Incident Response team to support containment procedures and complete a thorough investigation. The findings of the investigation confirm that while servers were compromised, no business, employee or membership data was affected. The incident was identified as an attempted ransomware attack, which the Library’s monitoring systems successfully blocked. For information on available services and the Library’s recovery, visit calgarylibrary.ca/comeback.
