Riding the crest of a digital wave

COVID-19 has been responsible for arguably the biggest acceleration in digital transformation ever seen. Back in May 2020, McKinsey claimed that consumer and business adoption of technologies like cloud computing had “vaulted five years forward” in the space of just eight weeks. This is great news for the cloud providers themselves, of course. But more importantly it has helped organisations to redesign business models, support mass remote working, and reach out to their customers in spite of nationwide lockdowns and social distancing mandates.

However, when organisations expand their digital footprint, it can also lead to unexpected outcomes: cyber-criminals are past masters at exploiting security gaps to further their own ends.

We wanted to understand more. How fast and how far are UK organisations actually digitally transforming during this period of unprecedented change? Where do they believe their biggest security challenges lie? And how confident are they in facing these threats going forward?

To find out, Trend Micro commissioned Sapio Research to poll 100 IT decision makers in the UK, as part of a wider global report covering 28 countries. Respondents came from a wide variety of verticals and ranged from IT managers up to the C-level in SMBs with 250+ employees all the way up to large enterprises with 10,000+ staff.
