A GLOBAL RESET

CYBER SECURITY PREDICTIONS 2021

PRESENTED BY ompanies across all

C industries commonly release forwardlooking reports about what ’ s to come in the next year , but nobody in 2019 anticipated the global pandemic or the worldwide reaction to it . In one way or another , our personal lives were upended . Organizations were forced to make decisions that fundamentally , and perhaps permanently , changed the way they do business .

While 2020 was filled with great uncertainty , there are still guarantees in the cyber security realm . Threat actors will continue to attack without any regard for the challenges faced by their targets . These actors continue to be motivated by espionage and monetary gain , though their TTPs will always evolve . This means organizations will continue to be breached , resulting in business disruptions , data compromise , reputational harm , and almost always a financial loss .
Knowing what we know , and with a constant eye toward the future , we have compiled a list of cyber security expectations for the coming year . In this report , A Global Reset : Cyber Security Predictions 2021 , we tackle the following topics : remote work and other impacts of the global pandemic , ransomware , nation-state activity , cloud security and security validation .
We extend a huge debt of gratitude to the many FireEye and Mandiant Solutions people and teams that helped make this report happen . In particular , this report would not be possible without the expert insights provided by our various leaders , including Sandra Joyce , EVP of Mandiant Threat Intelligence ; Major General Earl Matthews , VP of Strategy ; Dave Baumgartner , CIO ; Martin Holste , CTO for Cloud ; and John Hultquist , Senior Director of Intelligence Analysis . u
