Thailand DMARC & MTA-STS Adoption Report 2024
In the second half of 2023 and early 2024, Thai organizations faced an average of 1,892 cyber attacks per week, which is much higher than the global average of 1,040 attacks.
According to the report by the Nation, the Government/Military, Manufacturing, and Finance/Banking sectors have been especially targeted, suffering a combined total of 5,789 attacks in this period. Chanvith Iddhivadhana, Country Manager for Check Point Software in Thailand, noted: “Organizations in Thailand are facing an uphill battle. Cybersecurity attacks are getting more sophisticated and the volume of attacks has just been on the rise year after year.”
It is important to note that 2023 has been alarming not only for Thailand but the world as a whole, as the number of ransomware attacks increased by 33% from the previous year). As Iddhivadhana stated, “To defend against the upcoming onslaught of attacks, organizations will require a consolidated, collaborative, and comprehensive platform approach to cybersecurity,” and this is true both for Thailand and the rest of the world.
These alarming numbers are the reason why we have analyzed the threat landscape in Thailand to identify security gaps and pathways to fix the existing issues. Our report covers overall DMARC, SPF, MTA-STS, and DNSSEC adoption statistics along with an in-depth sector-wise analysis.
