The pandemic and its shock to world economies have profoundly altered work environments and cybersecurity priorities. COVID-19 has prompted a massive work-from-home (WFH) movement, increased BYOD policy adoptions, and unfortunately a spike in cyberthreats, ransomware, and data breaches. To help enterprises understand the enormous impact to their IT security teams, (ISC)2 co-sponsored a study that surveyed 600 security professionals from seven countries and 19 industries. Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he reviews key insights from this study, including:
- Challenges of supporting an expanded remote workforce
- Mid-year changes to IT security budgets and personnel
- Change in preferences for cloud-based security solutions
- Security technologies best suited to address pandemic-fueled challenges
- The positive impact of IT security professional certifications
