(SAN FRANCISCO = News Wire)
A large number of information security professionals in Asia are likely to face massive cross-border attacks on enterprise networks and critical infrastructure over the next year or two, and most companies are concerned about their ability to defend against these threats.
Related content is detailed in Cybersecurity Risk in Asia, the first Black Hat Asia report. The report contains survey results for over 100 Black Hat Asia attendees and provides insight into major information security issues related to cybersecurity and vulnerability in Asia.
As a result of the survey, the global cyber security concerns are being augmented by the similarities between Black Hat attendees in the US and Europe.
Black Hat is well known for its conference with cyber security researchers and enterprise information security experts. Leveraging its own expert community, Black Hat draws insights from executive management, information technology and information security team leaders, network managers and security officers, including Asian CEOs, CSOs and CIOs.
◇ Critical infrastructure, with risks exposed to attacks around 2020,
nearly 70% of survey respondents expected attacks in major Asian countries to hit critical infrastructure within a year or two.
Security experts at Black Hat Asia have expressed concern that a series of recent events in the region, like the results of Black Hat's US and European surveys, indicate a massive security breach in critical infrastructure. In the past, attacks in the Middle East and Asia have involved industrial control system corruption, data thefts for security, and hacking of computers for critical infrastructure in Asia.
◇ The biggest concern for information security experts In
addition to massive opportunistic attacks through malware for several years in Asia, Ransomware has also been highly targeted and focused on specific targets such as data theft or deception.
With this trend, 60% of respondents cited targeted attacks by hacking organizations in Russia, China and North Korea as their biggest concern.
◇ Relevant staff and resource shortage are important issues
More than 30% of respondents said that cybersecurity strategy was lack of skilled professionals as the main factor failing in Asia. Many Asian security organizations are not confident in their ability to protect critical data from cyber attacks because they lack expertise and related budgets.
In addition, the report concurred that executives were indifferent to important security priorities, even though their security was less secure than those in the US and Europe. More than half of Asia's cyber security experts say they are looking for or are willing to find a new job.
#Security weaknesses
About 40% of other security weaknesses that cause information security professionals to worry are those who violate end-user security policies, or become victims of phishing and social engineering scams, "He said.
About 30 percent of respondents said that compliance budgets account for the vast majority of security budgets. Despite the introduction of the APEC Privacy Framework, which requires compliance with privacy guidelines for companies in 27 APEC economies, experts have been concerned. Thirty percent of respondents expected that the introduction of the framework would lead to increased security-related work, but 14 percent of respondents said their company has not enforced security enforcement policies at all.
◇ Reports on the download of the
report The results of the report and the results of experts in each area are calling for action by government officials and business executives. Asia is a region that needs more attention to cybersecurity initiatives. Information on executable insights and other key industry trends can be found in the report copy.
Meanwhile, Black Hat hosts Black Hat Asia 2018, a leading intellectual in the information security community, to address the report's content and global trends and topics. The main programs of the event are a timely research briefing and practical training. We also offer business hall programs, including specialized programs and leading solution providers, to address the needs of a broad information security community that includes employees and managers as well as senior management positions.
