Have you ever considered how we expect round-the-clock protection at the organizations we work for or the businesses we rely on as customers? 

As cyber threats, fueled by advanced technologies, continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, organizations are ramping up defenses. This has created the need for a more robust and comprehensive defense mechanism, resulting in a web of interconnected technologies and partnerships. 

Rising investments in cybersecurity across the Asia-Pacific region reflect businesses' needs for security. IDC's Worldwide Semiannual Security Spending Guide estimates that security spending in Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) will hit US$36 billion in 2024, a 12.3 percent increase from the previous year. The region's spending could reach $52 billion by 2027, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8 percent.
