Managing cyber risks: Time to strengthen the cybersecurity arsenal

IT modernisation over the past two years was a necessary response to the ravages of the pandemic, but in many cases it has also expanded the digital attack surface, giving threat actors more opportunities to compromise key assets. As per a new study by Trend Micro, organisations are struggling to define and secure an expanding cyber-attack surface, hampering risk management. It revealed that on average, organisations in India have only 67% visibility of their complete attack surface, while 95% of organisations have been able to define their attack surface to an extent. Over 39% of organisations feel completely exposed to cyber risk in case of a cloud outage.
