"With the advent of digital transformation across sectors, being cognizant of cybersecurity challenges and safety is of utmost importance. The security landscape in 2020 will include optimal utilization of AI, with deep learning algorithms and mechanisms to combat malware and phishing attacks. As IoT, autonomous things and pervasive connectivity continue to drive digitalization, the possibility of cyber-attackers using more sophisticated AI-based threats looms large. Data threats and cloud security issues are pertinent ones that threaten the scope of cybersecurity now more than ever. Going forward, there will be an increased awareness of the need for a cybersecurity strategy. More cybersecurity products and services that leverage AI/ML and automation will be developed. We also expect cybersecurity to be deeply integrated into more tech products and pave the way for transformation across industries and organizations.”
