Cybersecurity professionals should brace for pandemic warfare in 2021, according to a new report from Experian.
Experian's eighth annual Data Breach Industry Forecast outlines five predictions for the data breach industry.
"Hackers have new targets and they have new means of attacking the targets," Bruemmer said.
As many people are still working from home due to the pandemic, hackers will take advantage of this situation to target home networks with ransomware attacks, the report predicts.
Finally, Experian predicts that the increase in 5G connectivity will bring a significant increase in new threat vectors.
