A surge in AI-powered cyber threats

Aug 27, 2025 Tech blog

In today’s digital environment, complexity isn’t just a hurdle, it’s a genuine threat. The recently released International Data Corporation (IDC) report, State of Cybersecurity in Asia/Pacific: From Constant Risk to Platform-Driven Resilience, highlights this reality. It reveals that 44.5% of organisations identify tool complexity as a major challenge, contributing to burnout, fragmentation and, ultimately, a weakened security posture.

The IDC report also highlights a dramatic surge in AI-powered cyber threats across the Asia-Pacific region. Nearly 61% of organisations have encountered AI-enabled attacks in the past year, with many reporting a 2x to 3x increase in frequency. These threats are not only more frequent, they are stealthier, more personalised, and harder to detect.

At IT Basecamp, we believe simplicity is strength. That’s why we’re committed to helping our clients reduce complexity and bolster cyber-security resilience by centralising IT security management. Through integrated platforms like Kaseya 365 Endpoint and Kaseya 365 User, we enable organisations to consolidate tools, streamline operations, and gain clearer visibility across the tech environment.

But technology alone isn’t enough.

The IDC report points to a persistent gap in addressing human-layer vulnerabilities. Despite the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, only 2.4% of IT budgets are allocated to security training. This underinvestment leaves organisations vulnerable to phishing, social engineering, and other user-targeted attacks.

That’s where Cyber Heroes comes in. This cyber security concierge service offers ongoing security awareness training that helps teams stay alert, informed, and resilient. We don’t just deliver content, we foster a culture of security from the inside out.

Additionally, the Cyber Heroes service provides a 24/7 emergency hotline connection to highly trained, locally-based technical experts for immediate support and remediation in the event of a security breach. Acting fast is the best first line of defence and best chance of a successful outcome when faced with a compromise.

As threats evolve, so must our defences. The path forward is clear: reduce complexity, invest in people, and centralise control. At IT Basecamp, we’re proud to lead the way.
