Cybersecurity as a board priority
Cybersecurity came to the forefront of critical concerns when companies had to shift to remote working at the height of the pandemic. Businesses continued to accelerate their transformation to address disruption, but many did not consider cybersecurity as part of the decision-making process — likely due to business urgency or oversight. As a result, as much as 73% of Asia-Pacific businesses saw an increase in disruptive attacks, according to the EY Global Security Survey 2021 (GISS), with new vulnerabilities entering the rapidly evolving business environment. The industrialization of cyberattacks led to an increase in their volume and severity, but Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are faced with challenges that inhibit the cybersecurity function. These include inadequate budgets, which can be seen in the cyber spend of Asia-Pacific businesses totaling only 0.05% of their annual revenue, according to the GISS. This cost-cutting has severe implications, as the GISS reveals that 41% […] Click here to view original article: www.bworldonline.com

However, it appears the global acceptance which could be attributed to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s cashless policy and the COVID-19-induced lockdown brought about an increase in cyber-attacks and e-banking fraud. These digital platforms such as Unstructured Supplementary Service Data, mobile banking, internet banking, WhatsApp banking, mobile wallets, Point-of-Sale machines, Automated Teller Machines, and others, have been under threat of cybersecurity risks.The global use of the channels created conduits where hackers devised technological means to rob digital bank users.The 2018 annual report of Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation reported an increase in e-fraud occurrences by 33 per cent […] Click here to view original article: punchng.com

US Funded Program in Australia to Help Pacific Nations Battle Cybersecurity Threats
A new Australian program supported by the United States will help organisations in 11 Indo-Pacific nations safeguard against emerging cybersecurity threats. Led by researchers at Monash University and Oceania Cyber Security Centre (OCSC) in Melbourne and funded by the United States Department of State , the Post-Quantum Cryptography in the Indo-Pacific Program (PQCIP) aims to help organisations and government bodies in these countries over the next three years. Cybersecurity and information technology (IT) focused participants in Malaysia, Indonesia, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Kiribati, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Tuvalu, the Cook Islands, and Nauru can receive free training in advanced cryptography that can help protect against threats from quantum computers through the program.
