Cybercrime is on the rise throughout Southeast Asia. With the region’s rapid development of digital technologies, it is a prime target for cybercriminals (Source: The ASEAN Post). This risk is heightened as ASEAN-member countries become more integrated via trade, capital flow and connectivity. According to the Asia Pacific Risk Centre, the global cost of data breaches is projected to reach US$2.1 trillion by 2019.
Designed to introduce U.S.-based companies in cybersecurity-related sectors to business opportunities in the Southeast Asia region, the U.S. Cybersecurity Trade Mission to Southeast Asia is scheduled for
Sept. 30 to Oct. 4, 2019,
and will visit Singapore and Malaysia.
Certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the mission is hosted by the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Cybersecurity Policy & Research Institute (CPRI) in partnership with the U.S. Commercial Service and the California State Trade Expansion Program (CA-STEP). The trade mission is sponsored in part through a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
