Security News > 2020 > December > Five ways COVID-19 will change cybersecurity

Because many businesses began relying on distributed workforces in 2020 and broadened their footprints with SaaS applications and cloud services, threat actors will likely prioritize these targets and find new ways to exploit them.

These targets will target individual consumers as well as the organizations developing, distributing, researching, and administering actual vaccines.

These schemes may damage public confidence in real vaccines and undercut their efficacy: given how important widespread adoption of these vaccines will be to ensuring public health, social media companies will need to take stronger actions to curb misinformation.

I'm so proud of how hard-working cybersecurity professionals adapted their work, innovated new solutions, and helped organizations everywhere continue delivering services to the people who relied on them.

In the wake of COVID-19, people have rapidly developed novel therapies, created new approaches to testing, accelerated research on vaccines, identified ways to mass-produce personal protective equipment, and designed new ventilators.
