Across Asia, organizations have standardized their daily work on SaaS (productivity suites, collaboration, CRM/ERP, and BI/AI) while modernizing their workloads in the public cloud. Below are some statistics that support this:
- Cloud spend in the APAC regions is projected to rise at 2% CAGR to US$471.2 billion by 2028, propelled by AI and digital infrastructure – IDC, 2025.
- SaaS market revenue will grow from $8.6 billion in 2024 to $20 billion by 2030 at a 3% CAGR. – Grand View Horizon, 2024.
So what? The result is unprecedented data sprawl across tenants, apps, partners, and endpoints. Cloud and SaaS dependency multiplies where sensitive data lives and how it moves. Perimeter controls alone can’t keep up.
