As we got used to remote working, many companies gave up on protecting the perimeter and trusted in basic networking and cloud services to protect “the branch office of one”. In 2021 the consequences of these actions will come to light and we will start to realise exactly how much intellectual property was stolen by attackers and malicious insiders during 2020. Data visibility and the management of data protection is the most important cybersecurity imperative for enterprises in 2021, so that we can work securely, regardless of location. To achieve this goal, we must introduce real-time user activity monitoring.

Security leaders must ask tough questions about whether they have the tools and solutions in place to spot and stop anomalous behaviour, before it’s too late.
