Shields up: Singapore amongst top 10 targeted countries for cloud threats

This comes from a survey conducted by McAfee.

According to McAfee Enterprise, Singapore ranked high when asked about cloud incidents.

Included in the survey were 10 countries, namely, United States, India, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Great Britain, Singapore and Germany.

Findings of the survey point to financial services making up 50% of the top 10 cloud incidents. This was followed by healthcare, manufacturing, retail and professional services.

Jonathan Tan, Managing Director of Asia, Mcafee Enterprise, said that this was a sign to stay resilient despite the ongoing environment.

“Businesses need to ensure they are setting up the right cybersecurity infrastructure to stay resilient against the ever-growing number of supply chain risks and backchannel threats targeting a scattered workforce.”

Ransomware was also seen as having a vibrant quarter, following the Colonial Pipeline Attack.

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.
