Personally and professionally, 2020 was not the year security and risk pros wanted or expected. But it is a year that taught us what we could endure. 2021 will not see things return to normal — yet — but it will be the beginning of the transition back to normal. This will simultaneously require us to adapt while remaining resilient. In 2021, organisations will continue to adapt to new business models and changing customer expectations simply because they must in the face of economic uncertainty, social movements, and changing geopolitics. This will have significant impact for information and IT security professionals across the globe.
This session will discuss Forrester’s Cybersecurity predictions for 2021 including:
- Increase of data breach causes by insider incidents
- Repercussions for CISOs instilling a toxic security culture
- Increased breaches to retail and manufacturing due to direct-to-consumer shift

New methods of perpetrating cybercrime keep evolving. Protecting against past attacks with yesterday’s methods is no longer a viable strategy. Attackers often use artificial intelligence to find ways to circumvent conventional defenses. As a result, future security depends strongly on the development of effective countermeasures, that can not only defend against known threats, but anticipate new ones as they evolve. We cannot find, train, and hire enough human analysts to possibly keep up with the volume, variety, velocity, and adaptability of emerging threats. Predictive threat hunting relies in part on artificial intelligence to extract understanding from identified emerging threats and to proactively identify and neutralise future threats. We must also broaden our understanding of what constitutes effective countermeasures, strengthening internal monitoring as well as effectively blocking threats at the boundary. Artificial intelligence is essential to finding effective, predictive, solutions.
