With the sudden development of teleworking to deal with the Covid-19 crisis, cybercrime is increasing and scams are increasingly present. This is why many companies have decided to arm themselves in IT security and will radically increase their budget in order to recruit.

With the increase in activity and the increase in the amounts of money circulating on the web, many analysts have estimated that the cyber threat is growing.
