The 2021 Thales Data Threat Report

The shift to remote work and the acceleration of the shift to cloud-based infrastructure have profoundly impacted security teams. With the security risks and threats that these changes pose, most organizations have some work to do to improve their security posture, according to the new 2021 Thales Data Threat Report. Many organizations were unprepared for the unexpected security challenges they faced in 2020. In fact, according to the report only 20% of IT professionals said their security infrastructure was very prepared for the effects of the pandemic

In this episode, Neira Jones is joined by Todd Moore, VP Encryption Products at Thales, to talk through the key findings of the report. They’ll take a look back at the key trends seen in 2020 and the impacts of the pandemic that have carried over into 2021.
