With the 2017 RSA Asia Pacific and Japan Conference set to kick off in Singapore in just two weeks, now is the perfect time to take a look at the threat landscape in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

In this podcast, IBM Executive Security Advisor Diana Kelley talks with Security Sales Specialist Liang Yang Loi about the security challenges organizations in ASEAN are facing today, with a focus on smaller businesses that may not have a dedicated security or incident response team.

Listen now to learn:

  • The first step small and medium-sized businesses, in ASEAN or elsewhere, should take in order to protect themselves from cyber attacks like WannaCry;
  • Why it is critical for organizations of all sizes to involve security experts when formulating an incident response plan;
  • How international threat intelligence sharing plays an increasingly important role in cybersecurity;
  • Why larger organizations in ASEAN, and particularly in Singapore, are moving beyond traditional security frameworks and embracing new technologies like artificial intelligence.
