AI raises security risks for S’pore tech businesses: report

Higher adoption leads to greater risks.

In Singapore, approximately 78% of tech and data executives say that artificial intelligence (AI) has increased security risks for their businesses, NetApp reported.

According to NetApp, 85% of Singapore businesses have fully or mostly optimised their data to make AI effective or competitive.

In addition, 49% of tech executives prioritise investments in data management and infrastructure.

However, AI adoption has escalated security risks globally, with leaders facing far more security challenges than laggards.

Within Asia-Pacific, India and Japan follow Singapore, with 72% and 68% of executives, respectively, reporting increased security risks. The United States leads globally at 82%, followed by Australia/New Zealand at 81%.

Meanwhile, lagging countries such as Germany, France, and Spain reported the lowest percentages of AI-related security risks, ranging from 40% to 42%.

NetApp surveyed 1,300 tech and data executives at businesses in 9 markets including the US, EMEA (UK, France, Germany, Spain), and APAC (Australia/New Zealand, India, Singapore, Japan).
