It is a simple question that is nearly impossible to answer. One way is to liken cybersecurity to personal wellbeing. While someone might be healthy today, they may not be healthy tomorrow. Similarly, while a company’s cybersecurity posture may not be compromised today, that might not be the case tomorrow. It is also clear from these discussions that the same type of cybersecurity issues continue to comprise the operational ‘health’ of many organizations in this region. A year on from the publication of our inaugural Asia Pacific Cybersecurity Readiness Survey, the findings of our latest study show that 41% of the 3,844 respondents experienced a data breach between 2023 and 2024, with 76% reporting an increase in the number of breaches their company had sustained during the same time period. Those respondents representing IT & Technology, Media & Telecoms, Retail, and Financial Services reported the greatest increase in attacks over the last 12 months.
