Research also indicates that despite lapses in data security, corporate executives are not blaming their own IT departments. In fact, results unveil that 85% of companies in Asia believe their own IT security systems are trustworthy. And 47% of business leaders agree that collaborating with industry by increasing the disclosure of breaches when they happen can minimise damage.
