On 18 June 2020, Sberbank and BI.ZONE have published “Threat Zone 2020: Not waiting for thunder”—an analytical research carried out by the experts of the two organizations.

Threat Zone 2020 is the third study from the annual series of researches dedicated to modern threats. In 2018, Threat Zone addressed the challenges posed by digitalization. Last year’s study explored the methods used by cybercriminals and the most popular cyberattacks. Threat Zone 2020 focuses on the latest developments in the digital threat landscape and the security challenges faced by organizations, including those caused by the pandemic. Experts compare the levels of system security in various industries and provide recommendations on how to enhance resilience to the newest cyberthreats.
