Global research defines post-COVID security challenges, from remote work vulnerabilities to supply chain attacks.

Our global survey finds that the challenges of a post-COVID, post-SolarWinds world have security and IT leaders scrambling for new strategies. Across regions and industries, we let the data tell the story:

  • 49% of organizations say keeping up with security is harder than it was two years ago — especially in a multicloud world.
  • 78% of security and IT leaders worry that they’ll be hit by a SolarWinds-style attack.
  • 88% of organizations say they’re increasing security spending — and 35% say “significantly.”

So now what? We look at how security teams are reassessing supply chains, adopting automation, using analytics more intelligently (and just plain more), and adopting zero trust. Get the report to learn about the findings in full.
