Seven in 10 organisations in Singapore pointed to cyber-risk concerns as the biggest factors in using Zero Trust strategies, with about a third citing cyber breach risk and the expanding attack surface, according to a study by Entrust.
The report said the city-state’s current priorities for security investments were: reducing complexity and inefficiencies in organisations’ IT security infrastructures; improving visibility into organisation’s applications and network; and reducing risks of data breaches or other security incidents. Nearly half said their top security concerns were hackers exposing sensitive or confidential data; system or process malfunctions; and temporary or contract workers.
