Abstract
This IDC report examines the current cybersecurity landscape, focusing on key priorities, challenges, and necessary investments for public sector organizations in the Asia/Pacific region. It includes case studies, strategic recommendations, and an analysis of government regulations that emphasize the crucial role of cybersecurity in national security and economic stability.
"Cyberattacks are increasing in sophistication, with cybercriminals using advanced techniques to breach defenses and steal sensitive data, particularly targeting the public sector. Ransomware incidents are rising, prompting concerns about intellectual property protection and reputational damage. The evolving threat landscape calls for a security-by-design approach," says Ravi Kant Sharma, research director, IDC Government Insights. Sharma adds, "Incorporating cybersecurity into comprehensive risk management is essential, given that these threats affect every facet of organizations and the broader national economy. Effective response requires a shift in strategies and resource allocation to maintain public trust."
