Beyond ‘just’ causing mayhem in the outside world, the pandemic also led to a serious and worrying rise in cybersecurity breaches. In 2020 and 2021, businesses saw a whopping 50% increase in the amount of attempted breaches. The transition to remote work, outdated healthcare organization technology, the adoption of AI bots in the workplace, and the presence of general uncertainty and fear led to new opportunities for bad actors seeking to exploit and benefit from this global health crisis. In this article, we will take a look at how all of this impacts the state of cybersecurity in the current post-pandemic era, and what conclusions can be drawn. New world, new vulnerabilities Worldwide lockdowns led to a rise in remote work opportunities, which was a necessary adjustment to allow employees to continue to earn a living. However, the sudden shift to the work-from-home format also caused a number of challenges and confusion for businesses and remote employees alike. The average person didn’t have the IT department a couple of feet away, so they were forced to fend for themselves. Whether it was deciding whether to use a VPN or not, was that email really a phishing one, or even just plain software updates, everybody had their hands full. With employers busy with training programs, threat actors began intensifying their ransomware-related efforts, resulting in a plethora of high-profile incidents in the last couple of years. A double-edged digital sword If the pandemic did one thing, it’s making us more reliant on both software and digital currencies. You already know where we’re going with this—it’s fertile ground for cybercrime. Everyone from the Costa Rican government to Nvidia got hit. With the dominance of Bitcoin as a payment method in ransoming, tracking down perpetrators is infinitely more difficult than it used to be. The old adage holds more true than ever - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. To make matters worse, amongst all that chaos, organizations also had to pivot away from vulnerable, mainstream software solutions. Even if it’s just choosing a new image editor or integrating a PDF SDK, it’s an increasing burden for businesses that are already trying to modernize or simply maintain. Actors strike where we’re most vulnerable Healthcare organizations became more important than ever during the global coronavirus pandemic. But this time also saw unprecedented amounts of cybersecurity incidents take place as bad actors exploited outdated cybersecurity measures. The influx of sudden need caused many overburdened healthcare organizations to lose track of key cybersecurity protocols that could help shore up gaps in the existing protective measures. The United States healthcare industry saw a 25% spike in successful data breaches during the pandemic, which resulted in millions of dollars of damages and the loss of privacy for thousands of patients whose data was compromis |
