PodChats for FutureCISO: State of mobile security in Asia

The prevalence and severity of mobile-related compromises continues to escalate in 2022. Perhaps even more interesting is that small and medium-sized businesses perceived the risk to be more significant compared to those from larger organisations (73% vs 60% respectively).

On a more positive note, the rise in cyber threat awareness has also seen a rise in cybersecurity budgets among 77% of respondents to the Verizon 2022 Mobile Security Index report. 

The research found that companies are now spending more evenly across the give National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIS) Cybersecurity Framework.

With 2023 just around the corner, 77% of respondents expect the budgets to increase in the coming 12 months.
