Why Adaptability Is Key To Cybersecurity

A key element of any successful cybersecurity platform is adaptability. Circumstances can change drastically overnight, and companies have to be equipped to respond.
Over the last few months, a slew of such changes have reconditioned the digital landscape, such as the rapid digitization across industries and sectors, the surging availability and effectiveness of digital communication and collaboration tools, the large-scale shift to remote work, and the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks.
As a result, more companies than ever are starting to invest in cybersecurity. Recently in CEO World, NINJIO founder and CEO Zack Schuler shared his thoughts on why this shift is happening and why cybersecurity is more important now than ever before.
For starters, the number of data breaches jumped by 273 percent at the onset of the pandemic. COVID-19 gave cybercriminals an unprecedented opportunity to exploit widespread fear and uncertainty with fraudulent information about the pandemic, government relief, remote work, etc. 
McKinsey anticipates that the “market for security and training will grow. With cyberthreats to remote workers increasing, companies are motivated to boost training to improve awareness and educate them about cyber hygiene.”
It isn’t just the private sector that’s investing in security awareness training. Deloitte reports that the most-used enterprise security service is security awareness training. As cybercriminals devise more and more sophisticated ways to deceive and defraud their victims, security awareness training will remain at the top of the agenda for companies that take cybersecurity seriously.
