Enterprises brace for COVID-themed phishing surge in new year
Nearly two-thirds (64%) of U.K. business decisionmakers are anticipating COVID-themed phishing attacks targeting their company to increase in 2021, according to new research from Centrify. The research was conducted by independent polling agency Censuswide and obtained via a survey of 200 business decision makers in large- and medium-sized enterprises in the U.K.
The data also revealed that more than half (52%) of business decision makers have anticipated an increase in cyberattacks facing their organizations, as triggered by the most recent national lockdown in the U.K., which ended on Dec. 2.
