Kuala Lumpur, May 13 (IANS) While 69 per cent Indian and 63 per cent Australian companies are most at risk of cyber attack, 35 per cent of organisations in the region suffered at least one cyber security incident in the last 12 months, says a sector study.

According to a recent study by leading IT analyst firm Frost &Sullivan, findings of which were released on May 9 here by Forcepoint, a leader in global cyber security, around 83 % of organisations in the Asia Pacific region do not think about cyber security while embarking on digital transformation projects.

Although a majority of the organisations (72 %) conduct regular breach assessment to protect themselves against cyber attacks, still 55 % of them continue to be at risk.
