Stealthbits Predicts 2021 to be the Year of the Black Swan Event
Summary
“The events of 2020 forced organizations to do things they weren’t necessarily ready to do to support a remote, global workforce,” said Jim Barkdoll, CEO of Stealthbits. As the world faced a global pandemic, enterprises were forced into a corner, acting quickly to extend their perimeters to accommodate a remote workforce. Moreover, organizations will be forced to either address all the gaps in their technology architecture resulting from missed or skipped steps for the sake of expediency, or face breaches as threat actors will quickly identify and capitalize on these vulnerabilities. While these initiatives are significant, the pace in which SaaS evolves makes it incredibly difficult for existing security resources to keep abreast of capabilities – it’s creating a new level of skills gap. The acceleration of aggressive cloud adoption and digital transformation combined with the skills gap mentioned above means MSSPs will struggle to meet the demands of the market and keep the security promises to their customers.
