Thanks to breach disclosure regulations in the U.S. and U.K., we regularly learn about the latest capers from the headlines.

Advanced cyber attacks in Asia are relatively common. In the second half of 2015, FireEye observed targeted attacks on 27 percent of its customers in the Asia Pacific region, which is nearly double the global average exposure of 15 percent. Over this period, an organization in Asia was almost twice as likely to be hit with an advanced cyber attack than the worldwide average.
