Security professionals in Asia must recognise the importance of integrating AI into their defence mechanisms. The ability to rapidly detect and eliminate threats is crucial, especially given the rise in insider threats, which now cost organisations an average of $16.2 million annually, according to the 2023 Cost of Insider Risks Global Report by Ponemon and Sullivan. This figure underscores the pressing need for advanced detection systems that can identify and mitigate risks effectively.
OpenText’s just launched Core Threat Detection and Response highlights critical trends and challenges that professionals must address to safeguard their organisations.
AI-driven solutions are increasingly central to modern cybersecurity strategies. OpenText’s new platform leverages sophisticated algorithms to process billions of machine events, significantly enhancing threat detection and response capabilities. As Muhi Majzoub, EVP of Security Products at OpenText, states, “Enterprises need a way to continuously adapt threat analysis to the unique behaviours of their organisation without further straining security teams.” This adaptability is vital as cyber threats become more sophisticated.
A persistent challenge
While external threats often dominate security discussions, insider risks—whether intentional or accidental—pose a significant challenge. These threats can evade detection and lead to substantial financial losses, making proactive measures essential. The integration of advanced threat detection tools can provide security teams with the insights needed to address these risks.
OpenText’s platform, for example, is designed to work seamlessly with existing security solutions, enabling organisations to enhance their security posture without overhauling their entire infrastructure. This composable architecture allows for rapid deployment and immediate value, which is crucial for organisations operating in fast-paced environments.
This is particularly important for security professionals who must ensure that their organisations can respond swiftly to emerging threats. The platform's built-in Cybersecurity Aviator translates AI-generated insights into plain language, allowing Security Operations Centre (SOC) analysts to act quickly.
With advanced anomaly detection capabilities, OpenText’s solution dynamically adapts to changes in operating environments, ensuring contextually relevant threat detection. This is vital for organisations striving to maintain a robust security posture in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

The built-in Cybersecurity Aviator translates AI-generated threat detection insights and alerts into plain language for SOC analysts, enabling faster preventative actions.
Cost Prevention and ROI: The solution proactively hunts for threats to help organisations reduce their potential exposure to multi-million-dollar incidents. Also, working alongside other security tools, this solution aims to maximise the value and ROI of prior investments for customers.
Looking ahead
In 2025, security professionals in Asia must embrace advanced technologies and strategies to navigate the complexities of the cybersecurity landscape. With the growing importance of AI-driven solutions, a focus on insider threat management, and a concerted effort to address skills shortages, organisations can strengthen their defences and protect against an array of cyber risks. As the threat landscape evolves, so too must the strategies and solutions employed to safeguard vital assets.
