Ivanti unveiled the findings of a Frost & Sullivan study which investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cybersecurity and compliance attitudes and behaviors in Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.

More than 40 percent of the respondents in Australia and New Zealand stated that they focused more on cybersecurity to better protect their organization from attacks.

At the same time, the importance of zero trust frameworks increased across the board with 75 percent of all enterprises surveyed during the pandemic stating that this was very important, compared to the 64 percent that stated the same before the pandemic.

When enterprises enter the market for new security vendors, the key features they need to look for include threat detection and response, penetration testing, vulnerability testing and scanning and security technology management.

Kenny Yeo, Associate Director and Head of Asia Pacific Cyber Security Practice at Frost & Sullivan, said, "To secure digital assets in the new everywhere workplace, security leaders need complete visibility into all endpoints that connect to their networks. They also need to ensure that only trusted users, devices, and applications can access corporate resources. Deploying an integrated security platform that features best-in-class contextual automation and zero trust capabilities is the best way to reduce the risk of breaches and future-proof businesses."

"Michael Waring, VP Asia Pacific & Japan, Ivanti Security Solutions Group, said,"In changing the way we work, COVID-19 has also created new security challenges for organizations.
