Cybercrime is already professionalised

HeimdalTM Security chief executive Morten Kjaersgaard claims that cybercrime is already a profession and the Corona Virus turned out to be good for business.

In an interview with Finbold.com, Kjaersgaard stated that tracking developments in the cybercrime sector will be a major trend in the coming year.

He said that it was important to have cybersecurity as part of the modern education curriculum. With cybersecurity undergoing rapid regulatory changes globally, Kjaersgaard explained how his firm has positioned itself to adapt to the changing environment.

For Heimdal, the coronavirus pandemic had a positive impact, with an increased demand for software that simplified remote management of devices and could help increase security on WFH devices.

“The change in consumption of our services also clearly documented the change the Coronavirus drove, as we saw a dramatic increase in the number of individual connections to our services.”

He said that the coronavirus pandemic really underlined the need for customer communication as there was a much faster shift for customers in thinking decentralized rather than centralized. What we delivered to them was tailored to meet those challenges.”
