2020 has proven that we are moving our lives more digitally than ever before, but it has also proven the importance of cybersecurity. Experts say the topic should be a priority for the Biden administration.

According to a survey by Check Point Software Technologies published in November 2020, 71% of security professionals reported an increase in cyberthreats since coronavirus lockdowns began in early 2020. Experts say cybersecurity has not been given enough importance in the past and they are urging the Biden administration to take it seriously.

“The transition and decisions the government makes about cybersecurity are important and can have significant implications,” said Ed Amoroso, CEO of TAG Cyber, in a telephone interview.

The pandemic is forcing us more than ever to transform our lives into a digital world. According to experts, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important as our lives move more online.
