Elisabetta Delponte, Konica Minolta – Cyberattacks have never been more successful than in the last year, and for 2020 an alarming increase of cybercrimes is expected, factoring in the surge of critical IT assaults that arose with the spread of COVID-19.

In 2019, four out of five organizations were victim to at least one successful attack to their IT security, according to CyberEdge’s annual Cyberthreat Defense Report (CDR). And with the number of corporate endpoints becoming more and more with the increased need for remote working, the traditional cybersecurity strategy based on the detection of malware starting from what is external to the company perimeter is not feasible anymore.
