Chart from Proofpoint's Cybersecurity: The 2023 Board Perspective report

Chart of the Day: How confident are board members in handling cybersecurity threats?

Singapore is the third-most confident when it comes to cybersecurity decision-making.

Despite some concerns and challenges, a growing confidence in cybersecurity posture is apparent among board members, with 84% of board members based in Singapore feeling confident about tackling cybersecurity issues in the organisation.

A study by Proofpoint showed that 75% of the 600 board members from 12 countries feel comfortable making decisions on security matters affecting their businesses.

High-profile data breaches, a surge in ransomware attacks, and disruptive supply chain incidents have highlighted the severe consequences of cyber threats. 

These threats can extend beyond financial losses, impacting a company's reputation, and customer trust, and causing costly business disruptions. 

As a result, boards require a cybersecurity perspective more than ever to safeguard their organisations.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
