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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
