Cisco published a study which found enhanced importance of privacy protections during the pandemic and increasing benefits for businesses that adopt strong privacy measures.

The survey analyzed the responses of 4,400 security and privacy professionals across 25 countries and explored attitudes towards privacy legislation and the emergence of privacy metrics being reported to executive management.

60% of organizations say they weren't prepared for privacy and security requirements involved in the shift to remote work.

Good privacy and security practices will play a key role in the road to economic growth and COVID-19 pandemic recovery.

Privacy investment continues to be attractive, with 75% of organizations seeing significant business value in terms of mitigating security losses, enhanced agility and innovation, improved operational efficiency, and improved customer loyalty and trust.

"Privacy has come of age - recognized as a fundamental human right and rising to a mission-critical priority for executive management," noted Cisco VP and Chief Privacy Officer, Harvey Jang.
