Outlook: The cybersecurity environment is fuelled by economic turmoil and a widespread shift to remote working. As online work increases cyber security risks, the IT team needs a longer-term cybersecurity strategy that addresses the challenges of remote work. Additionally, the new way of working expands the potential for cybersecurity threats with new vulnerabilities surrounding every employee working from home. To overcome such challenges, SMBs should consider implementing strong remote access security controls if they have not already done so. Arctic Wolf’s security operations-as-a-concierge aims to help organizations securely perform their operations. The startup has raised $150M in Series F funding led by Viking Global Investors and plans to use it to improve its M&A strategy and accelerate growth.
