Many firms used the cloud to speed their goals while adopting new technologies and methods; nevertheless, hackers were able to modify their strategies and tactics. Here are three trends transforming cybersecurity in a remote workforce:

More Cloud Breaches

Misconfigured security mechanisms and a lack of monitoring in the cloud have led to tougher security protocols and security testing features. With more people using the cloud, there is a higher level of trust in infrastructure security.

Increase in Cyber Insurance Purchases is Ahead
