As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, many organizations are losing clients and are adjusting operations to survive.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many people working from home.

With a new decade on the horizon, many digital threats and cybersecurity gaps that have plagued the previous one will persist and worsen. Additionally, with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning being adopted across an ever-widening array of industries, hackers are also using them to enhance the sophistication of their attacks.

Data security continues to be a hot button issue today. However, not many businesses, especially small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), realize its importance. In fact, recent findings suggest that only 15% of companies are adequately prepared for a cyberattack.

2019 was a wild ride in the world of cybersecurity, with big stories around network security, data privacy protection, and the state of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance all hitting the headlines.
