While the need to protect the business against heightened risks has traditionally been an urgent matter, the sheer number of new threats means more time is being spent on immediately patching any issues, and day-to-day security tasks are often pushed aside.

Security will always be disadvantaged when coming up against threats, because there are too many for organizations to combat.

Reducing unplanned work caused by security breaches and fire drills means they can focus on core business tasks and maintain productivity.

A strong organization will focus on security continuously rather than spend a large percentage of their resources on reactive approaches and maintain business as usual no matter what challenges arise.

Security will always be of the utmost importance and reacting to threats to protect the business will undoubtedly come as a priority when required.

Moving forward from a year of turbulence, businesses will begin to realize that security doesn't always require immediacy, and that adopting long-term approaches are the best defense.
