According to a commissioned study by Fortinet, a network security provider, companies in the region are showing concern that their IT security coverage and related costs may need to be improved to guard against any security threats.

The study was done in August 2011 and involved 350 IT decision makers from China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan.

Respondents identified two chief areas that could be their focus in revising their IT security strategies - the comprehensiveness of the IT security coverage, and the cost of the IT security implementation.
