According to ESG research, 62% of organizations were poised to increase cybersecurity spending in 2020. 32% of survey respondents said they would invest in cybersecurity technologies using AI/ML for threat detection, followed by data security (31%), network security (30%) and cloud application security (27%). Of course, that was back in those halcyon days before COVID-19. Have things changed? Yes, and seemingly overnight. Like society at large, the cybersecurity world's priorities, strategies and tasks have been turned upside down. So, where does that leave us now?
