Cyberattacks are no longer an IT issue; they’re a business crisis.

In Branch Out Season 5, Episode 4, we dig into Southeast Asia’s cybersecurity wake-up call. Singapore alone saw attack volumes nearly double, and consumer trust is eroding fast.

We look at what’s driving the surge, who’s behind it, and why stolen credentials are the top entry point. You’ll also hear what regulators are doing in response, and why businesses need to treat cybersecurity like critical infrastructure, not a side expense.

If you’re in tech, finance, or communications, this episode shows why trust is the real bottom line and how to protect it.
