The importance of CyberSecurity in Organizations

CyberSecurity is more important than ever, taking into account the emerging social and labour paradigm shift. Organizations and individuals are even more dependent on digital devices. The internet is the dominant technological tool that people use to work and to share information between teams, friends and families.

This situation has increased vulnerability to cyber attacks. Some examples: in April 2020, the WHO reported that since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of cyber attacks directed at its staff, and email scams targeting the public at large; Honda and Life Healthcare were also hit by cyber attacks in June 2020.
