The cyber-security industry learned some valuable lessons during the unique and unprecedented year of 2020. Many trends across the cyber-threat landscape will persist globally in 2021, making it vital for security teams to apply insights gained last year to future practices. Adaptive and dynamic security practices will be especially crucial as the next generation of Internet-connected technology is further established. Intelligence sharing and transparency will also bring benefits, as security teams struggle against the efforts of more sophisticated cybercriminal groups. Although threat actors’ capabilities will probably develop continuously, 2020 has left the security industry well prepared to tackle future challenges, if organizations look behind as they look ahead.
