Digital Transformation and Cybersecurity in the Context of COVID-19 Proliferation

Abstract

The Coronavirus pandemic has given a powerful impetus to the mass adoption of digital technologies, which will bring unprecedented changes in the social and economic fabric of our society. More than ever, the digitalization of companies is accelerating. This is reflected in the massive dematerialization of information systems towards the cloud, the explosion of the Internet of Things, and the accumulation of data from users in Big Data. The ongoing measures of social exclusion in most countries of the world have forced a large part of the world's trade, in terms of goods and services, to go online. Soon, the world is likely to see further explosive growth in the capitalization of online service providers as commodity companies decline [1]. At the same time, these openings are opportunities for companies to deploy innovative and more efficient services.
