Singapore recorded over 500,000 cyber threats in H1 2024

It is the lowest number recorded in the region.

Businesses in Southeast Asia faced 146,944 cyber threats daily in H1 2024, Kaspersky reported.

According to Kaspersky, Singapore recorded the lowest number of cyberattacks in Southeast Asia in H1 2024, with 574,292 cases, compared to Malaysia, which led the region with 19,615,255 attacks.

Indonesia takes second place with 3,204,294 cases, followed by Vietnam (1,445,452), Thailand (1,057,732), and the Philippines (846,837).

“Cybercriminals in the region are becoming more sophisticated, utilising AI-driven attacks and other tools and techniques. Businesses must invest in robust cybersecurity tools like endpoint protection, firewalls, and real-time event monitoring and management. Regular security assessment and audits must be conducted to identify weaknesses and address vulnerabilities,” Yeo Siang Tiong, general manager for Southeast Asia at Kaspersky said.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
