There will be increased focus among countries on developing stricter regulations
The pandemic and the worldwide adoption of remote working resulted in cybersecurity undergoing years’ worth of transformation in a matter of months and therefore it is tough to understand the current cybersecurity landscape and predict security trends, the PwC India said on Friday.
The effects of the pandemic that began last year are still visible across the cybersecurity landscape, making it difficult to predict security trends for 2021. Considering the unprecedented events of last year, any predictions for the immediate future cannot be definitive, the firm said.
Rising geopolitical tensions worldwide have resulted in governments and enterprises increasingly focusing on cybersecurity to protect their assets from cyber attackers. Instances of cyberattacks by national/state actors targeting critical infrastructure and nationally important establishments are becoming more common, according to Siddharth Vishwanath, Partner and Cyber Advisory Leader, PwC India.
