Global Threats, Regional Solutions: Securing Asia’s Public Sector with Akamai
As digital transformation accelerates, cybersecurity challenges have evolved from isolated attacks to systemic threats affecting governments, critical infrastructure, and financial systems. AI has made sophisticated cyberattacks more accessible, enabling phishing, automated exploits, and supply chain attacks at scale. Combined with geopolitical tensions and rising financial fraud, these threats overwhelm traditional defenses. APAC is among the most targeted regions, experiencing over 80 billion web application attacks and 7.4 trillion Layer 7 DDoS attacks from 2023–2024. This white paper examines these trends and highlights resilience strategies, including Zero Trust, DDoS mitigation, and microsegmentation, to strengthen public sector cybersecurity.
