Local organisations must do better in cybersecurity war

Singapore

LOCAL organisations have a collective responsibility - and can do better - to tackle cybersecurity challenges. Even startups, which may lack the resources to afford cybersecurity tools, must make the detection of cyber threats a business priority, experts said - in light of the multiple cyberattacks on Singapore universities and malls in just the past week.

A new study on cybersecurity readiness in the Asia-Pacific (Apac) found that while 81 per cent of organisations in Singapore are confident of their cyber resilience, only 53 per cent proactively check if they are truly secured. This study, conducted by Frost & Sullivan late last year, was commissioned by security intelligence company LogRhythm.
