How to use our analysis
The 2021 trends section is intended to provide valuable insight and actionable recommendations for security leaders to make informed decisions. We offer advice to help defenders prepare, prevent, detect, and mitigate activity associated with each trend. The guidance we provide differs, since each trend requires a different approach. You might also use our analysis to help anticipate and plan for key trends that may continue into 2022, just as we saw with 2020 trends extending into 2021.
