"One of our new studies has confirmed that three in five businesses in Southeast Asia have fallen victim to a ransomware attack. Some have, but half have fallen prey multiple times. Our 2022 data reveals that this will continue to be a threat to companies in Southeast Asia as it proves highly lucrative for cybercriminals," General Manager for Southeast Asia, Yeo Siang Tiong stated.
The cybersecurity talent gap continues to haunt companies in the region. One study even noted that there is a shortage of 2.1 million much-needed local cybersecurity staff in the Asia Pacific region.
In addition, only 5 percent of corporate leaders confirmed that they have an internal incident response capability or have a regular IT team or service provider to be aware of ransomware attacks. This explains why the majority (94 percent) of them require external help during the incident.
"With the advent of the Ransomware 3.0 trend, expert cybersecurity is required that goes beyond your typical endpoint solutions. This can be done by equipping your security team with expert detection and incident response tools, such as Kaspersky XDR (Extended Detection and Response)," Tiong added.
It is a multi-layered security technology platform in the form of expert cybersecurity solutions and services, which can be customized for any size organization and uses a proactive approach to coordinate separate security tools into a detection platform.
