Over 6 in 10 IT decision-makers wary of GenAI cloud security

This is due to a high incidence of security breaches over the last year.

More than six in 10 (66%) Singaporean IT decision-makers are worried about privacy and data security in GenAI cloud security, according to a report by SUSE which polled stakeholders across APAC.

This is due to a high incidence of security breaches with 88% and 82% of Singaporean teams confirming a cloud and edge security incident over the last year, respectively. Other concerns include vulnerabilities in the AI supply chain (56%) and AI-powered cyber attacks (50%).

The report also found that data loss and implementing zero-trust security measures (44%) are the number one challenges in securing edge computing. This is followed by ensuring data privacy and compliance with regulations (38%).

Additionally, the highest concerns around third party and cloud are virtual machines (36%), followed by ransomware attacks (34%), and vulnerabilities in third-party images and packages (30%).

However, there is a high willingness (90%) from IT decision-makers to migrate more workloads to the cloud if data safety can be guaranteed, indicating a strong potential for increased cloud adoption.

Moreover, 52% of IT decision-makers intend to review their software supply chain to increase security.

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.
