Cyber Attacks Are On the Rise
If you pay any attention to the news, then you’ve probably heard about the major cyber attacks that are affecting individuals and corporations around the world. 2020 broke records when it came to cyber attacks, with the average cost of a data breach coming in at a staggering $3.86 million.
The fact that cyber attacks are on the rise doesn’t come as a surprise — countless companies had to make a fast and unexpected pivot to remote work in March 2020, with many of them unprepared for the security challenges created by a remote workforce.
More generally, ransomware and other cyber security threats are becoming more and more sophisticated. This, in turn, makes it much more difficult for the average user to protect themselves.
