Thailand's cybersecurity systems remain vulnerable to a high number of attacks, according to cybersecurity firms.

Kaspersky said Thailand logged the most incidents in Southeast Asia with 2.52 million web threats in the first half of 2025, followed by Malaysia and Indonesia with 1.70 million and 1.63 million, respectively.

Web threats are crucial threats against businesses and enterprises, such as malware programs that can target internet users, according to Kaspersky. Web threats are not limited to online activity, but ultimately involve the internet at some stage for inflicted harm.

In the first half of 2025, Kaspersky Enterprise Solutions detected and blocked 7.83 million web threats in the region, averaging 43,049 a day.

The company said recent data revealed existing vulnerabilities in business networks, leaving Thai enterprises exposed to possible cyber-attacks.

In the first half of 2025, 1.2 million exploits targeting organisations in Southeast Asia were blocked by Kaspersky, averaging 6,750 a day.
