Samsung SDS held its ‘Cyber Security Conference 2021’ online on April 6 to share the latest cyber security trends and countermeasures in a rapidly changing work environment due to increased remote work and accelerated cloud transition caused by the pandemic. Over 3,000 people including security industry officials and corporate security personnel attended the online conference.

Samsung SDS analyzed several cyber-attacks and security issues that occurred last year and selected seven cybersecurity trends in 2021.

In its Global IT Services 2021 report in January, UK-based brand consultancy Brand Finance named Samsung SDS the world’s 10th most valuable IT services brand, with a brand value of $3.69 billion. This recognition can be attributed to the company’s solid performance despite the COVID-19 impact last year, a focus on digital transformation initiatives with steady R&D investment, and ongoing environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities.
