KnowBe4, a leader in digital workforce security, is accelerating its expansion across Asia following a successful series of cloud email security launch events in Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. The company plans to continue its regional tour with an event in Malaysia this July, driven by increasing demand for solutions that counter sophisticated AI-driven cyberattacks.
The recent Singapore event highlighted the growing threat of hyper-personalised email attacks, which have evolved from mass spam due to the use of generative AI and stolen logins. According to KnowBe4, 95% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) believe client and corporate data is at risk via email, and 93% of organisations have experienced outbound email data breaches.
The events showcased KnowBe4’s Collaboration Security capabilities, demonstrating how AI-powered behavioural detection and real-time user feedback can mitigate email risks without hindering productivity. Dr. Kawin Boonyapredee, CISO adviser at KnowBe4, emphasised the need for a fundamental shift in securing emails, stating, “We must move beyond outdated models and focus on protecting the entire modern workforce.”
KnowBe4’s expansion in Asia is supported by growing regional teams and an increasing customer base. The company is investing in local expertise to address regional threat patterns and regulatory requirements. With further executive engagements planned across Asia Pacific, KnowBe4 aims to transform the modern workforce into a resilient security layer.
