Techwire recently reported in May 2021 that data breaches in South-East Asia (SEA) have shot up exponentially in the past year, making the region the focus of the biggest increase in reported data breaches worldwide.  

A data breach is also a costly affair - IBM Security’s 2020 Cost of a Data Breach Report shows that the average security breach is now costing US$2.71 million per organisation across SEA.
