A GLOBAL RESET

CYBER SECURITY PREDICTIONS 2021 a

A CONFIDENT APPROACH TO UNEXPECTED CHANGES
Companies across all industries commonly release forward-looking reports about what ’ s to come in the next year , but nobody in 2019 anticipated the global pandemic or the worldwide reaction to it . In one way or another , our personal lives were upended . Organizations were forced to make decisions that fundamentally , and perhaps permanently , changed the way they do business .
While 2020 was filled with great uncertainty , there are still guarantees in the cyber security realm . Threat actors will continue to attack without any regard for the challenges faced by their targets . These actors continue to be motivated by espionage and monetary gain , though their TTPs will always evolve . This means organizations will continue to be breached , resulting in business disruptions , data compromise , reputational harm , and almost always a financial loss .
Knowing what we know , and with a constant eye toward the future , we have compiled a list of cyber security expectations for the coming year . In this report , A Global Reset : Cyber Security Predictions 2021 , we tackle the following topics : remote work and other impacts of the global pandemic , ransomware , nation-state activity , cloud security and security validation . ◊
The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it . — Abraham Lincoln
