Chen calls for new way of thinking in light of AI revolution and the critical need for greater visibility into risk across growing attack surfaces<\/i><\/p>\n

SINGAPORE<\/span><\/span>, Oct. 15<\/span>, 2024 <\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Global cybersecurity leader Trend Micro Incorporated<\/a> (TYO: 4704<\/a>; TSE: 4704<\/a>) announced that its CEO and Co-Founder, Eva Chen<\/span>, will call for a much-needed rebalance in the cybersecurity industry at the GovWare Conference and Exhibition 2024 in Singapore<\/span>. This comes as a new study by the company reveals how devices, accounts, and cloud assets are most at risk in Southeast Asia<\/span> and globally, underscoring the critical need for network defenders to gain greater visibility into risk across their attack surface.<\/p>\n

Trend Micro’s latest Cyber Risk Report<\/a> found that unauthorised access to high-risk cloud applications emerged as the top risky event in Southeast Asia<\/span> in the first half of 2024, as organisations across the region increase their reliance on cloud services and look to seize opportunities in advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). The study examined risk across various assets with telemetry data from the Trend Vision One\u2122 platform to determine where risks are greatest within organisations.<\/p>\n

Old and inactive accounts, as well as sensitive data being sent outside the network, were identified as other frequently occurring risk events across the region. As such, the report found that Southeast Asia<\/span> had the second-highest average risk among regions after the Americas, with an average risk rating of 43.2. Telecommunications, agriculture, and education were the top three industries in the region with the highest average risk score.<\/p>\n

As the longest-serving cybersecurity executive in the industry, Eva will take the stage at the GovWare Conference and Exhibition 2024\u2014Asia’s premier cybersecurity platform\u2014to unpack how the industry needs to change to balance technology risk and resilience in the AI era. Leveraging insights gleaned from thousands of enterprise customers, she will also share how shifting towards a more risk-based approach to cybersecurity is a critical step in realigning security goals with business goals, improving organisations’ cybersecurity posture while supporting innovation and business continuity.<\/p>\n

Eva Chen<\/span>, CEO at Trend Micro:<\/b> “We’re at a pivotal moment where cybersecurity must evolve beyond just defending against threats. As organisations race to embrace AI and other transformative technologies, they face a dual challenge\u2014protecting against increasingly sophisticated attacks while enabling innovation and growth. The future of our industry hinges on our ability to balance these priorities. Organisations must proactively manage their cyber risks, starting with building comprehensive visibility and understanding of their attack surfaces. This will ensure organisations can innovate confidently while maintaining their resilience in this rapidly evolving digital landscape.”<\/p>\n
