Cambodia DMARC & MTA-STS Adoption Report 2024
According to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, cyber attacks in Cambodia increased by 28% last year. This concerning increase can be attributed to several factors, among which:
- Growing adoption of cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) devices across different organizations and industries
- Rapid increase in the number of sophisticated threats (e.g. ransomware and phishing scams) that have put businesses at increased risk
- lack of professionals in the field
Over 60% of Cambodian companies are expected to migrate to cloud-based solutions by 2024, potentially leading to an even higher increase in demand for cloud security specialists of up to 25%. However, Cambodia does not have enough professionals in the field of cyber security to meet the demand in the job market. According to Joseph Smith from AUPP, Cambodia is suffering from a huge shortage of skilled cybersecurity experts. As sectors such as banking, healthcare, and e-commerce are becoming increasingly more vulnerable to cyber attacks, the shortage of skilled personnel might imply a very dangerous situation for different public and private organizations in different sectors in Cambodia.
