For the major malware types, percentages in the country are slightly lower or almost equal to the world average. In total, 122 million malicious files were detected last year, 6 million more than during 2021.Īccording to Kaspersky, Thailand demonstrates some interesting numbers in terms of its OT systems. Kaspersky's detection systems discovered an average of 400,000 new malicious files daily worldwide in 2022, demonstrating a 5% jump when compared to 2021.

OT refers to companies' use of hardware and software to control industrial equipment. The attackers are focusing more on targeted industries that have deployed OT-connected machinery and the critical infrastructure. He said the top targets are the industrial, government and financial sectors. 'We observe that highly complex, professional attacks have become massive in scale,' Mr Kaspersky said at the Cyber Immunity for a Secure Digital World seminar on Thursday, organised by Thailand's National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA).

Professional targeted attacks, including on industrial and critical infrastructure, are global cyberthreat trends, while the use of operational technology (OT) in Thailand needs to be more secure in this connected world, said Eugene Kaspersky, chief executive of global cybersecurity firm Kaspersky. Mr Kaspersky shared his knowledge with the National Cyber Security Agency at Thursday's seminar.
