Cybersecurity was a significant catalyst in facilitating productive remote work and ensuring business continuity in 2020. 

Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, and with more businesses operating remotely, the global scourge of cybercrime became even more calamitous in 2020.

While challenging, 2020 drove a long-overdue review of our approach to cybersecurity for many, especially with the explosion of COVID-19 themed cybercrime targeting remote workforces.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digital transformation among many businesses, but also simultaneously exposed their cyber vulnerabilities and levels of unpreparedness against insidious, targeted cyber threats. 

As 2020 comes to a close, we want to extend a big thank you to our partner community for all of your invaluable support throughout what has been a tumultuous year.  

One of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity is keeping up with the new attacks that criminals are creating.

Earlier this month, we partnered with the National Cyber Security Alliance to mark Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM), a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. This year’s theme is ‘Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart’, helping to empower individuals and organisations to own their role in protecting their part of cyberspace.

This year’s theme focused on identity theft and protecting valuable data online, with the slogan “Be yourself. Don’t let a scammer be you.”
