Adopting a cloud-first strategy necessitates cybersecurity measures that can secure data in transit, protect cloud infrastructure, and ensure robust identity and access management in the cloud. The cybersecurity market in Thailand is actively responding to these challenges by offering tailored solutions to address the complexities of cloud security, reflecting the industry's adaptability to evolving technology trends.

The need for qualified and experienced cybersecurity specialists has increased as the digital landscape evolves and cyber threats get more complex. The need for more skilled professionals in this field hinders the effective implementation and management of cybersecurity solutions, creating a bottleneck that impacts the overall cybersecurity market in Thailand.

The growth of digital payments in Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand, has emerged due to the growth of online banking services and the growth of online transactions, which has raised the risk of cyber attacks on the digital infrastructure of these payment activities in the country, increasing the demand for cyber security solutions during the forecast period.

In the post-pandemic period, the growth of online payments in the country and other online-based business activities has raised the risk of breaching network, infrastructure, cloud, and data security by the cyber attacks, fueling the demand for cyber security market in the country after the pandemic. For instance, in March 2023, Thailand's government introduced new Cybercrime Measures for Banks and other Service Providers to minimize cybercrimes in the country by providing legal measures applying to offenders, which shows the increasing governmental priority in the cybersecurity sector after the pandemic, supporting the market's growth in the future.
