Security firm Kaspersky in its report said Organisations in Southeast Asia (SEA) continue to experience a persistent volume of cyber threats delivered through the web, with the firm detecting and blocking more than 18 million malicious attack detections across the region in 2025.
Country 2025
Indonesia 3,014,870
Malaysia 3,361,453
Philippines 621,984
Singapore 1,371,435
Thailand 1,207,725
Vietnam 8,437,695
SEA 18,015,162
Kaspersky’s web threats detections on businesses in SEA
These web-based threats, including compromised websites, malicious downloads and other online attack vectors that can lead to unauthorised system access and data exposure, were observed across SEA throughout last year.
Businesses in Vietnam registered the highest volume of web-based threats in the region with 8,437,695 detections, followed by Malaysia with 3,361,453 incidents and Indonesia with 3,014,870 incidents. Organisations in Thailand and Singapore also faced more than 1 million web-based cyberattacks in 2025.
“While the number of web threats we detected and blocked against business users in SEA are quantitatively on a decline, we observe a surge of this type of threat targeting organisations in Singapore and in Vietnam. These two countries have one thing in common.
Through the years, policies and behaviours towards cybersecurity in the enterprise environment are on the rise, which means more and more organisations are building up their defences against cyberattacks,” comments Adrian Hia, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at Kaspersky.
These levels of detection reflect the breadth of online participation across economic and social activities in the region. According to the World Economic Forum, the SEA digital economy is currently valued at around US$300 billion and is projected to reach US$1 trillion by 2030.
“In our current volatile market, enterprises in the region are rightfully prioritising spending on technologies that will increase their profit and productivity. A recent research even highlighted that technology spending in the Asia Pacific is set to increase by 9.8% in 2026.
As attacks on enterprise environments continue to evolve in quantity and complexity, I am confident that cybersecurity solutions and services will be among the key technological investments that will be prioritised here this year and beyond,” Hia adds.
