INTERPOL – ASEAN Cyberthreat Assesment 2021
The globalized world, with growing economies and fast-evolving technology, poses an increasing threat to a multitude of actors – governments, businesses, and citizens. Today, anyone is a potential victim of cybercrime.
Cybercriminals use globalized Information Communication Technology to commit cybercrime, unrestrained by geographical boundaries and causing an enormous impact on the global economy. Cybersecurity experts project the total net cost of cybercrime to grow by 15 per cent per year over the next five years, reaching USD 10.5 trillion annually by 2025, up from USD 3 trillion in 2015.
