Increase of sensitive data instances on enterprise devices: COVID-19 impact
According to an endpoint resilience report, there was a 62 percent increase in instances of sensitive data on enterprise devices in mid-March 2020, in the beginning of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. On May 15, 2020, as the pandemic went on, there was a 41 percent increase in instances of sensitive data - such as personally identifiable information (PII) - stored on enterprise endpoints. Now in 2021, the percentage point increase compared to pre-COVID results is only 10 percent.
