Throughout history, people have taken advantage of chaotic situations to prey on those who let their guard down during disastrous events. Today, the world is in the throes of an unprecedented disaster, a global pandemic. According to a recent study from the Information Systems Security Association, there has been an unprecedented 63% spike in cyber attacks related to the pandemic. Cyber Security and data protection are some of the most important issues facing corporations today and the recent COVID-19 pandemic highlights the magnitude of the importance of protecting data.
