He said 43 percent of the officials from surveyed businesses said bulk of their information technology (IT) investments are allocated for cybersecurity, particularly to upgrade their security frameworks to automated technologies, as well as to increase securities on rising volume of cyberthreats.
The increased investment is also a result of their cyber risk assessment, he added.
The higher investments for this purpose are encouraging, he said, adding this will prevent cyberattacks and disrupt business operations.
“However, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses will now need to navigate the newfound risks brought about by remote work and other Covid-19-themed threats. This will require a relook at cybersecurity existing strategies and investments,” he said.
In terms of products that companies use to further strengthen their cybersecurity capacity, Visaya said 86 percent said they use anti-malware and antivirus tools, 59 percent said they use next-generation firewalls, and 47 percent said they have started to invest in cloud native security.
