Vulnerability tops PR cybersecurity trends to watch in 2020
As technology grows in sophistication, so do bad actors seeking to exploit it. A supply/demand gap in talented watchdogs puts businesses in all sectors at heightened risk. Happy New Year.
2019 was a landmark year for those who work in cybersecurity PR, and not in a good way.

A varied threat landscape has driven extensive cybersecurity media coverage.

They include attacks by foreign actors, insider threats, the growing cybersecurity skills shortage, AI-enabled attacks and the consequences of businesses’ migration to cloud infrastructures.
