Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021 there will be a cyberattack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019, and four times the rate five years ago in 2016. The rapidly growing increase in cyberattacks worldwide comes at a hefty cost for businesses in order to better protect their computer networks from intrusions. Cyberattacks not only are increasing in frequency, but they are costing victims larger financial losses.
The silver lining in noting the increasing cyber threats may be that companies, governmental agencies and individuals are all learning how to protect themselves better from cyber attacks. Since the first computer virus in 1971, technology has continued to improve for both cybersecurity professionals and cyber attackers. In 2021 and beyond, it will be vital to keep close tabs on the development of the cybersecurity landscape.
