We’ve heard a lot about the acceleration of digital transformation over the course of the past year. McKinsey has claimed that organisations which used to consider digital strategy in “one- to three-year phases” have shifted to doing the same in just days or weeks. At Trend Micro we wanted to find out more, specifically whether these efforts were being managed in a secure manner.

What we found in our interviews with 2,500+ IT decision makers worldwide was revealing. While digital transformation has certainly increased during the pandemic, their understanding of how to mitigate risk in the cloud has not. This threatens to leave many organisations exposed to serious reputational and financial damage.
