Abstract

This research paper revolves around Cybersecurity and supports why it is important for an organization to invest in Cybersecurity. In this paper, we have tried to draw a conclusion on how the Cybersecurity landscape will change post-COVID-19. We have discussed the types of attackers, their motives and the threats that are expected to rise post-COVID-19 in detail. Furthermore, we have tried to break down the attacks that can be executed in different industries like IT industry, automobile industry, etc. Finally, we have tried to propose some solutions (SOAR, Sandboxing, etc.) to prevent cyberattacks in the future.
