In 2019, 43 per cent of the respondents in Malaysia received more than 10,000 alerts on a daily basis, down from 46 per cent in 2018. However, organisations in Asia-Pacific continued to struggle to cope with security, with the number of investigated alerts declining to 44 per cent on average from 56 per cent in 2018. The worldwide figure for alert investigation was 51 per cent.
Meanwhile, 23 per cent of breaches in Asia-Pacific last year cost US$2.5 million and up, while the global average was 15 per cent. Chai expressed hope that government and corporate leaders in Malaysia would continue to work together to address cybersecurity challenges in 2020.
