Due to the pandemic, many traditional brick-and-mortar businesses have been forced to digitalize despite not being prepared for it. This has led to many security risks.
Even businesses that have a history of operating online have been affected because their employees who started working remotely have fewer security measures on their home devices.
We want to help you deal with all these threats that could seriously damage your business and find out what you must do to protect it.
We reached out to 40 cybersecurity experts and asked them the following question:
Some of the answers received talk about the same threats. This only shows the importance and the frequency of those risks. Other experts may describe a particular threat that you haven’t encountered so far. It could be specific to a certain type of expertise or country
We appreciate the variety of answers that we received that allows us to form a complete picture of the latest cybersecurity threats
Without further introduction let’s see what the experts had to say.
