Digital Defense: Strengthening the State of Cybersecurity in Malaysia

Cyber attacks and cyber threats are common nowadays and now extend to the very fabric of national security, economic stability, and public safety. Malaysia has taken steps to fortify its digital defences and enacted the Cyber Security Act 2024 in June this year, and took effect on 26 August 2024.

This legislation is not just a framework, but a comprehensive blueprint designed to protect our National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII) from cyber threats.

But what does this Act truly mean for businesses and the public at large? How will it transform the way we understand and respond to cybersecurity threats? And how does it position Malaysia on the global stage in terms of cyber resilience and digital sovereignty?

We speak with CF Fong, the Executive Chairman of LGMS Berhad about the Cyber Security Act 2024 and what it means for the future of cybersecurity in Malaysia.
