We also speak with Nick Harlow, Senior Director of Product Management at HackerOne. The shock of 2020 has seen even the most conservative businesses let go of their qualms about remote work and undertake some sort of unexpected digital transformation. When we asked a selection of CISOs worldwide about their experiences, 36% said their digital transformation initiatives have accelerated as a result of COVID-19. Another 30% have seen more attacks on their IT systems, and 64% believe their organisation is more likely to experience a data breach.
