Organisations urged to build adaptive security framework
KU ALA LUMP UR: Organisations need to build an adaptive security framework that is scalable and flexible to meet new and complex security challenges, Kaspersky Lab urged.
Recently, Kaspersky Lab held its first multi-city security roadshow, with the theme, ‘Cyber Insights 2018’, going across 12 cities in Asia Pacific Region, creating partnerships with customers, analysts and cybersecurity experts. The roadshow started in July and will be carried out until October 2018.
Kaspersky Lab Cyber Insights 2018 provides a platform for the users, analysts and cybersecurity experts to discuss and deliberate on emerging threat landscape in Asia Pacific.
The participants also explore ways that organisations need in building a solid cyber defense plan, which will help them address the existing security risks, detect new attacks and prevent future threats.
According to Kaspersky Lab Southeast Asia general manager Yeo Siang Tiong, said, the roadshow focuses on ‘Building Cyber Defense and Resilience with Adaptive Security Framework’.
“With the emerging threats, Kaspersky Lab believes that organisations need to build an adaptive security framework that is scalable and flexible to meet and new and complex security challenges.
“Often we hear about cybersecurity trends, seldom we talk about the threats. It is also worrying that most companies are unable to respond in time, but rather after the attacks have occurred. During the road show, our team will show you the emerging threat landscape internationally and for the region,” Yeo added.
During the keynote address, Kasper sky Lab GReAT, Asia Pacific director Vitaly Kamluk, who has been with Kaspersky Lab for 13 years, and has spent two years with INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore, shared: “Based on the information collected by Kaspersky Security Network, Malaysian users reported 31million web threats since January 2018, with 36 per cent users detecting malware.”
He went on to share global attack cases such as Lazarus, DarkHotel, VPNFilter, Roaming Mantis and among the others.
Meanwhile, IDC Asia/Pacific’s IT Security Practice Business vice president Simon Piff, also shared IDC perspective on building cyber defense and resilience.
“In a studies done for Kaspersky Lab, 64 per cent of respondents were unable to define advanced persistent threat (APT). Alarmingly, 51.5 per cent said they would need days or weeks or months to respond to the attacks.” Simon said.
