NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 11 – About seven in ten information technology (IT) security decision-makers are concerned about growing digital attack space.
Latest report by Trend Micro, a leading cybersecurity provider, over 73 per cent of IT leaders are jittery amid transition to digital due to Covid-19.
“In light of the challenges faced by IT professionals, it is clear that there is a need for improved investment and understanding of the cyber-attack landscape,” the report says.
Whereas 43 per cent claim digital attack surface is spiraling out of control, 37 per cent describe it as constantly evolving and messy.
“Although most detections and attacks are still aimed overseas, it is crucial that Africa invest in improved security measures. A critical part of this investment must be focused on resolving the skills shortage,” says Emmanuel Tzingakis, technical lead sub-Saharan Africa.
“While a comprehensive security solution like Trend Micro One can provide your systems with protection, skills development programs will play a key role in ensuring a safe future,” said Tzingakis.
