In 2020, finance and insurance were the most attacked industries, followed by manufacturing and energy, according to the report.ДЄttackers took advantage of the nearly 50% increase in vulnerabilities in industrial control systems, which manufacturing and energy both strongly rely upon, said Ms Patama.

Patama Chantaruck, vice-president for Indochina expansion and managing director of IBM Thailand, said cybercriminals last year sought to profit from 'the unprecedented socioeconomic, business and political challenges' brought about by the pandemic.Д¬iting IBM's 'X-Force Threat Intelligence Index' report, she said cyber-attacks on healthcare, manufacturing and energy doubled from 2019 to 2020, with threat actors targeting organisations that could not afford downtime due to risks of disrupting medical efforts or supply chains. Tech companies urge organisations to perform cybersecurity checks on critical infrastructure, business operations and workers to ensure there are strong defences against attacks.Д¬yber-attacks may not be 100% preventable, but a strong cybersecurity defence can minimise the chance of data loss and help organisations to recover quickly, allowing for business continuity.

Organisations are being urged to adopt a 'zero trust' approach to fend off cybersecurity attacks.вЂ‰WICHAN CHAROENKIATPAKUL
