The study, sponsored by CA Technologies shows how mobility, APIs and an eye toward growing the business have brought a balanced view of control and enablement to security.
“It is paramount for Singapore organizations to stay ahead of the fast-changing IT threat landscape, especially in a geographic location that serves as a strategic regional and global hub for commerce,” said Chua I-Pin, vice president, Asia South, CA Technologies.
Singapore respondents were nearly equally split when asked if security was mostly about control or enabling the business.
49 percent of respondents said security was mostly about control, while 51 percent indicated that it was about both control and enablement.
Key Singapore findings from the study show:
1. Protection as top priorities
Protecting identities (48 percent) and protecting against data breaches (46 percent) were the top security priorities among Singapore respondents.
This was followed closely by improving/supporting compliance and audit (45 percent) and improving the mobile customer experience (39 percent).
