Cyber threats across Asia are accelerating rapidly, with attackers becoming more coordinated and more focused on stealing valuable data. According to the 2025 APAC Threat Landscape Report by SOCRadar, public administration (16.45%), finance (9.28%), and information services (8.91%) are currently the most targeted sectors on the dark web, driven largely by credential theft and database sales. India (8.85%) and Indonesia (6.87%) are the most targeted countries in the region, reflecting both large digital populations and varying levels of cybersecurity maturity.

Ransomware remains one of the fastest-growing threats in APAC, with India and Japan among the leading targets, while phishing attacks now increasingly exploit trust signals, with over 71% of phishing sites using HTTPS to deceive users.

As threats evolve, security professionals across Asia are turning to conferences and community-led forums to exchange intelligence, develop defensive strategies, and build resilience.

Here are the top cybersecurity conferences taking place across Asia in 2026.
