MCMC launches Information and Network Security Guidelines to address cyber threats

Instead of adding regulations, it aims to enhance service providers’ capability and readiness in managing cyber risk, not mandatory for now

KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has launched the Information and Network Security Guidelines (INSG), a voluntary framework to enhance cybersecurity and network resilience within Malaysia’s communications and multimedia industry.  

Designed as a proactive measure against escalating cyber threats, the INSG serves as a best-practices guide to help service providers and other industries fortify their network infrastructures.

“The INSG is not about adding extra regulations, instead it aims to enhance the capability and readiness of service providers to manage cyber risks, mitigate data breaches, minimise disruptions through strengthened network infrastructure, and protect consumers from online harms,” MCMC said in a statement today.

The guidelines apply to all service providers under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. However, other industries are also encouraged to adopt the INSG as part of their cybersecurity measures if deemed necessary.

Currently non-mandatory, the guideline allows organisations sufficient time to adapt the practices, therefore service providers will also have room to provide feedback to MCMC.

According to the commission, the guidelines were developed through an inclusive process, involving consultations with cybersecurity experts, industry players, government agencies, and academia. 

“The feedback, suggestions, and insights provided were carefully evaluated and where appropriate, were incorporated into the INSG,” MCMC added.  

It also highlighted that the guideline represents a pivotal step in safeguarding Malaysia’s digital ecosystem, ensuring secure and resilient network infrastructures for all. – December 8, 2024
