It should come as no surprise that the challenges and opportunities differed from country to country. Region-specific factors can vastly impact cybersecurity threats and practices such as business cultural norms, language, geopolitical issues, the regulatory landscape, and cybersecurity maturity.

The luxury of physical presence and time meant that I learned things I simply can’t intuit from press reports or even virtual calls. In this blog, I will share my key learnings and takeaways from the key challenges and opportunities for CISOs in Southeast Asia:

Narrative attacks and deepfakes

With 2024 touted as “Asia’s year of elections,” with seven highly populous Asian countries holding elections, narrative attacks are expected to be especially popular here. Indonesia saw this when an AI-generated deepfake video of late President Suharto that cloned his face and voice, trying to influence a political agenda, went viral. Speaking of deepfakes: According to a Sumsub report, deepfakes surged by 1,530% in APAC! We discussed the Hong Kong finance worker who attended a video call in which deepfake technology was used to imitate his colleagues, part of a scheme to prompt him to transfer US$25 million. We also discussed the concern about the use of deepfakes in biometrics, with security leaders bringing to my attention banking victims identified in Vietnam and Thailand.
