The biggest threats to your brand in 2021
Last year saw an unprecedented scale of cyber-attacks and data breaches facilitated and accelerated by Covid-19, from scalper bots targeting the PS5 launch to Twitter’s high-profile hack in July. Cybercriminals are upping the ante to capitalise on increased online activity, and automated technology is set to play a huge part in the defence against bot attacks in 2021.
The rising bot threat to media, marketplaces and video gaming

While you might be protecting your customers’ credentials with the best possible security, lax measures elsewhere mean those very same credentials are readily accessible for purchase.
