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.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

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