NetApp, the intelligent data infrastructure company, and Elastio are helping enterprises enhance their cyber resilience with a layered defence that extends from production storage into recovery data. According to NetApp, security teams must be ready to address threats at every layer of their technology stack, including advanced ransomware.

Global AI security provider TrendAI has found that organisations worldwide are pushing ahead with AI deployment despite known security and compliance risks.  The new global study surveyed 3,700 business and IT decision makers, with 200 from Singapore.

David Ng, MD – Singapore, Philippines & Indonesia, TrendAI said: “Organisations are not lacking awareness of risk, they’re lacking the conditions to manage it. When deployment is driven by competitive pressure rather than governance maturity, you create a situation where AI is embedded into critical systems without the controls needed to manage it safely. This research reinforces our focus on helping organisations drive solid business outcomes with AI while still managing business risk.” The ...
