Awareness on cybersecurity was heightened to new levels with the global pandemic taking place. People were working from home and it put people and businesses at a higher risk for an information breach. This was the biggest trend in 2020, how to protect workers when they aren’t working in an office, but what can we look for in 2021? Over the first month we can see some trends forming and we have a few predictions for what else to expect for the rest of the year.

Increasing Privacy 

This first trend carries over from 2020. People are still working from home and if people are back in the office there is still a chance that a breach can happen. Countries themselves are starting to implement more security measures because they understand how information is being collected. Businesses and individuals need to prepare for these changes and even take an initiative on data protection.

More and more cyberattacks 

With people increasing to come back to work or staying at home a lot of movement is happening. This can cause people to be lax with security measures just to make the transition faster. This is not the way to go because hackers are at it more than ever. To understand these security threats click here, and just be aware that hackers are a threat now more than ever. 

5g implementation

Global implementation of 5g across all facets of life is something to be excited about. This is great for convenience, speed, and the growth of technology in the future, but it poses threats as well. Cyber attacks will be more sophisticated with the growth of technology and 5g is a part of that. Security will have to be quicker in development than that of the hackers who will have access to the same technology. 

Keeping everyone up to date

Having your employees, no matter the department, informed on what is expected from a security standpoint is beneficial to the health of the entire company. We always recommend that everyone has a strong password and for more on that click here. This is a trend that should be popular every year! Keeping up to date with security trends is important to the health of every company. 

Staying safe and secure is something that we always put at the forefront of our company. It allows us to work freely to be the best we can for our customers. If you take this initiative with your company it will allow your business to be better. All of these trends point to increasing security measures in 2021 and beyond.
