KUALA LUMPUR – The new cybersecurity law is essential for people to have confidence in the nation’s internet infrastructure, said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo.

The Cyber Security Act 2024, passed by the Dewan Rakyat in April, officially came into force yesterday.

It aims to enhance the nation’s cybersecurity through compliance with specific measures, standards and processes in managing cyber security threats.

The act will also assist the government in ensuring the viability and efficiency of the National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII) in handling cyber security incidents.

“Cybersecurity is a critical issue that demands our utmost attention, especially as we continue to expand our infrastructure and encourage citizens to rely on it,” Gobind said during a press conference after officiating the Connected Seaports Forum – Advanced Technological Use Cases Powered by 5G at Perdana KLCC today.

“Take, for instance, our ports, which are classified under the National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII) sector. 

“All companies within the NCII sector are now required to conduct an annual risk assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of their cybersecurity systems. Additionally, a reporting mechanism has been established to ensure prompt notification in the event of a cybersecurity breach.

“This demonstrates that Malaysia is not only committed to strengthening cybersecurity through policy but is also taking concrete steps by enacting laws and regulations to bolster our nation’s cyber defences,” Gobind told the press conference.

In his speech to launch the forum, he urged Malaysian seaport operators to invest in digital and 5G technologies to remain competitive.

Discussions are also ongoing to find the right tender to establish the second 5G network infrastructure operator in the country, he added. – August 27, 2024
