Tom Kellermann, head of cybersecurity strategy at VMware Carbon Black, believes that findings from a recent study suggest a significant renaissance in cybercrime, leading to a new era of agile organization and sophistication.
"The disruption caused by COVID-19 has created a massive opportunity for criminals to restructure their businesses," he says. "Traditional criminals are flocking online in a newly shifted digital-first world, fueling the expansion of cybercriminal cartels."
