Cybersecurity has been a priority for organizations for many years. According to Gartner, organizations are expected to spend $150.4 million on IT security and risk management technologies in 2021, which would reflect a 12.4 percent increase compared to 2020. Yet, despite these investments in security controls, cyber-attacks keep coming. In fact, cyber criminals took advantage of the shift to a pandemic-defined work environment by launching a wave of new cyber-attacks, leveraging tactics such as phishing, ransomware, and credential stuffing. Their primary target for their attacks – remote workers and their endpoint devices, which serve as an access point to an enterprise’s network.
