In APAC, cyber defenders are likelier to share tactical threat intel rather than strategic information, often out of fear of suggesting they were breached, says Devinder Singh, Maybank’s CISO. But getting intel out fast – and across borders – is key to the sector's defense. To encourage a culture of trust and collaboration, Singh says APAC cyber teams need to share information on successful defenses, have the option of anonymity, and be sure of their leaders’ and regulators’ support. After all, sharing is a shield, and doing the right thing is often doing the smart thing.
