Similar to many other developing states in Southeast Asia, Laos has numerous cybersecurity challenges that require immediate attention. Laos is taking important steps toward enhanced cybersecurity, investing in establishing LaoCERT, the National Computer Incident Response Team for Laos, and putting significant efforts into training local cybersecurity personnel. 

However, much more can be done in accordance with the continuous growth of digital infrastructure in Laos. In fact, the cybersecurity market revenues in Laos are projected to grow by 9.30% annually until 2029, implying further expansion of its digital infrastructure and, consequently, a potential rise in the number of cyber attacks. PowerDMARC’s team of cybersecurity experts is well aware of the potential implications of digital growth and the importance of firm cybersecurity infrastructure in this context. 

Therefore, we have decided to examine the threat landscape in Laos to identify current mistakes and misconfigurations for a stronger and better digital future in Laos. In our case study, you will find key statistics related to SPF, DMARC, MTA-STS, and DNSSEC adoption rates, as well as key recommendations to enhance the cybersecurity framework in Laos.
