Cybersecurity in 2021: Challenges and Solutions in the New Digital Reality

The accelerated digital transformation driven by the pandemic has led to an unprecedented reliance on technology, which has been exploited by cybercriminals. In 2021, securing remote workers and the sensitive information they handle has become a priority. Implementing security tools and protocols is essential, as is having trained professionals to tackle these challenges. An increase in COVID-19-related attacks is expected, including scams involving vaccination information and attacks targeting the infrastructure of Virtual Private Network (VPN) providers, as well as the feared ransomware attacks, where criminals steal data and demand a ransom for its return.
