Home networks, remote working software and cloud systems will be at the center of a new wave of attacks in 2021, Trend Micro predicts.

"As we begin to enter a post-pandemic world, the trend for remote working is likely going to stick for many organizations. We predict more aggressive attacks to target corporate data and networks," said Jon Clay, director of global threat communications for Trend Micro.

"Security teams will need to double down on user training, extended detection and response and adaptive access controls. This past year was all about surviving: now it's time for businesses to thrive, with comprehensive cloud security as their foundation."

Cloud systems are another area in which threats will continue to persist in 2021, from unwitting users, misconfigurations, and attackers attempting to take over cloud servers to deploy malicious container images.

Augment threat detection with security expertise to protect cloud workloads, emails, endpoints, networks, and servers round-the-clock.
