According to a report by Coleman Parkes, half of mobile consumers think COVID-19 has increased cyberthreats. Perception isn’t always reality – but in this case it is – and will only continue to worsen. In 2021, it is projected that a cyberattack will happen every 11 seconds and cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion dollars annually, becoming the third largest economy in the world.
Since spring 2020, COVID-19 has changed where we work to how we communicate. As a result, more time is spent online with people accessing business assets over unsecured connections which substantially increases the risk of cybersecurity attacks.
