Supply Chain Talks

COVID-19 has shined a bright light on the state of cybersecurity around the world. The pandemic led to an influx of cybercrime. The FBI reports that since the start of the coronavirus, cyberattacks have increased by 300%. This trend, also highlighted by Google, showed the company blocked over 18 million coronavirus phishing attempts each day since the start of the pandemic. Overall the cyber threat trend continues to increase as people and businesses are accelerating the digitization of their operations. In this Portcast we talk to Evelien Bras, Director of FERM, who has made cybersecurity her top priority. We will talk to her about the need to increase awareness and how to prevent cyberattacks.
