Security News > 2020 > January > 3 biggest threats cybersecurity professionals are facing in 2020

Security firm Cynet has released a report on The State of Breach Protection in 2020 that paints a picture of a cybersecurity landscape that is evolving quickly-maybe too quickly for IT teams to keep up.

The report, which predicts security trends for 2020 based on responses from cybersecurity professionals, finds that that most are planning to roll out advanced protection products in 2020.

Fragmented security software is a concern that needs to be addressed, but it's questionable whether or not centralized systems could solve what professionals see as the biggest threats of 2020.

That leaves cybersecurity professionals in a tricky position in 2020: Fragmented security software is going to leave networks vulnerable, and adding additional tools that don't communicate with existing ones will only make it harder for IT to keep up with already burdensome cybersecurity workloads-but the biggest perceived threats can bypass those tools with ease.

How is a good cybersecurity team to tackle the threats of 2020? Don't focus solely on software when one of the biggest threats comes from people making simple mistakes.
