We’ve never had more data and it’s never been harder to protect. Since the COVID-19, global organizations have generated unprecedented volumes of data. At the same time, that data is spread across a broader and more complex attack surface than ever before: corporate and personal devices, IoT endpoints, public and private clouds, and beyond.
Over that same period, adversaries – ranging from cybercriminals who increasingly leverage tools previously ascribed to nation-state actors, as well as nation-state actors who increasingly engage in cybercrime – took advantage of the broader potential attack surface. SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, Kaseya, and Log4j are examples of attacks that targeted software zero-days, supply chains, and managed services providers.
Fortra partnered with Information Security Media Group (ISMG) to better understand COVID’s impact on data security, how leaders feel about their progress, and what their current practices and priorities are. Download the report for commentary as well as key findings, including:
- 89% of respondents say their organization is just as or even more cyber-secure than it was the previous year
- 52% say cyberthreats became fiercer
- 19% say COVID-19 disrupted their data security initiatives
