How many Malaysian companies face over 10,000 daily cyber alerts?

Question

Accepted Answer

Percentage of Malaysian Companies Receiving Over 10,000 Daily Cyber Alerts Decreased

In 2019, 43 per cent of Malaysian companies surveyed reported receiving more than 10,000 cyber alerts on a daily basis, a decrease from 46 per cent in 2018. This figure indicates a growing focus on addressing cyber threats within Malaysian businesses, as suggested by technology group Cisco.
Decline in High Alert Volume

The proportion of Malaysian companies experiencing a high volume of daily cyber alerts has shown a downward trend. While 46 per cent of respondents in 2018 were inundated with over 10,000 alerts daily, this number reduced to 43 per cent in 2019. This improvement places Malaysia ahead of the Asia-Pacific average, which stood at 46 per cent in 2019, but still below the global average of 35 per cent for the same year.
Increased Alert Investigation

Concurrently, Malaysian companies demonstrated an enhanced capacity to manage these alerts, with 44 per cent of the daily cyber alerts being investigated in 2019. This represents a notable increase from the 40 per cent investigated in 2018. This rise in investigation rates contrasts with the Asia-Pacific average, where the percentage of investigated alerts declined to 44 per cent from 56 per cent in 2018, and the worldwide figure of 51 per cent.
Remediation of Genuine Alerts

Furthermore, the study highlighted that 45 per cent of genuine cyber alerts were addressed by Malaysian companies in 2019, a slight improvement from 44 per cent in the previous year. This indicates a steady, albeit incremental, progress in the effective handling of identified cyber threats.
