Singapore IT leaders struggle to secure IT infrastructure: report

Over the past year, 51% of IT leaders have experienced a data breach.

In Singapore, 96% of IT leaders report making compromises when it comes to securing IT infrastructure, higher than the global average of 91%, Gigamon reported.

In the last 12 months, over half or 51% of IT leaders in Singapore have experienced a data breach, with 25% having detected it due to their organisation's information being leaked on the dark web.

Singapore IT leaders said their top compromise was securing the fast-growing number of OT/IoT devices, followed by gaining full visibility into data moving across their hybrid cloud systems.

They are also concerned about public cloud security and the lack of corporate governance surrounding AI adoption.

Gigamon surveyed over 1,000 security and IT leaders across Australia, France, Germany, Singapore, the UK, and the US.

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.
