COVID-19 has had far-reaching consequences, not only geographically, but also across industries. Over the past year, our personal lives have shifted (or been put on hold); careers have been altered or lost. The constant is ambiguity, and the questions that we ask include: When it comes to cybersecurity, IT professionals, their employers, and other employees all felt the impact of COVID-19, though in different ways. As the pandemic set in, IT professionals scrambled to fortify defenses, instate new remote working processes, and connect an unexpected network of home offices. Employers made tough decisions about how to keep operations churning securely, despite budget and staff cuts. Employees struggled to perform well at their jobs while working from home with new technologies and processes in place. The obvious cause of the new normal is COVID-19. But, the root cause of the changes in the cybersecurity landscape is a little more complicated— and it affects everyone, whether or not they work in cybersecurity.
