KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – 6 November 2023 –A study 1 by Samsung Electronics and Tech Research Asia that surveyed more than 1,440 businesses in Southeast Asia and Oceania found that more than half of these businesses felt device security was a common problem. 33% of respondents find their business devices too old to run applications, while 44% have devices that require additional hardware or accessories to function.
