Security Lacking In Asia

According to an article from the Business Times in Malaysia, ‘only a third of the Asian companies have a computer security strategy’

This was quite surprising to read, as Asia is well known for its advances in technology.

A stated by Dr Raja Malik Mohamed, in charge of the Malaysian National Computer Confederation, "It is not just a business issue, but also a governance challenge that involves risk management, reporting and accountability. It requires the active engagement of, and execution by, executive management," he stated. He later went on to say." Enterprises must put in place a roadmap for the way in which security leaders must interact with others within the organization. "The security professionals must not be 'techies' who have no understanding of the company's business." he said.
