Mr. Simon Piff, Vice President of Research at IDC Asia-Pacific, said, "This survey reflects the growth and advancements in cybersecurity across the region. Organizations are no longer experimenting with AI, but are now deploying it across threat detection, incident response, and team design. This signals a new era of smarter, faster, and more adaptable security operations to better address the evolving risk landscape. AI is transforming the way threats are identified, prioritized, and acted upon. This transformation requires a holistic shift in cybersecurity strategy and workforce skills development."

Dr. Suphakorn Kangphisadarn, Country Manager for Thailand and Laos, Fortinet, said, "CISOs across Thailand are entering a more advanced phase of cybersecurity planning. AI not only strengthens defenses, but also helps organizations structure teams, allocate budgets, and prioritize threats. At Fortinet, we are helping customers navigate this transformation by integrating AI capabilities across our entire platform to enable faster threat detection and more intelligent response." and provide greater operational security as cyber risks become more complex and decentralized. As this complexity increases, organizations increasingly need security models that are flexible, intelligent, and integrated to keep pace with evolving threats.”

Fortinet, a global leader in cybersecurity driving the convergence of network and security systems, announced the results of its 2025 IDC survey, which highlighted that organizations across Thailand are adopting AI as the first line of defense in their cybersecurity strategies. The IDC study, sponsored by Fortinet, reveals that AI has transcended trends to become a key enabler of cybersecurity operations, delivering speed and accuracy, and shaping modern cybersecurity recruitment, investment strategies, and team structures. AI is exploding across the cybersecurity landscape.
