Cybersecurity top priority for Indian CIOs post Covid-19 pandemic: Adobe

As hacking threats increase from nation-state bad actors from China and North Korea, a staggering 89 per cent of CIOs in India say that cybersecurity remains to top investment area for them, a new Adobe survey revealed on Thursday.

The CIOs from India and Australia re-asserted that cyber security continues to be one of the most cited areas for planned investment.

Some of the most prominent areas of cybersecurity related issues for Indian organisations were pertaining to insider threats (45 per cent) and data breaches (38 per cent), said Adobe’s ‘CIO Perspectives Survey’.

“As we rapidly moved from functioning in an increasingly-digital world to one that is digital-only, CIOs have had to pivot their strategies to prioritise the online needs of their customers and employees,” said Scott Rigby, Head of Digital Transformation, Adobe Asia Pacific.
