Cybercrime and industry composition in APAC

Cybercrime in the Asia-Pacific region has experienced a surge recently, not least attributable to rapid digital transformations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Another important reason for the substantial number of attacks is the prevalence of manufacturing industries in the APAC region - cybercrime in the manufacturing industry is more common relative to other industries. In 2022, about a quarter of cyberattacks across industries worldwide occurred in the manufacturing industry. The industry’s economic significance, richness in intellectual property, and digitalized industrial processes tied to other sectors make it an attractive target for cybercriminals.
