BUILDING the country’s next generation of cybersecurity professionals is crucial to secure Malaysia’s critical information infrastructures across industries. CyberSecurity Malaysia (CSM) chief executive officer Datuk Dr Amirudin Abdul Wahab said to prepare for complex cyber threats, Malaysia must be creative in training the workforce. “We must go beyond technology and mobilise an entire organisation and human resources to fully counter the threats. “We also need to look beyond technical skills and consider hiring security professionals that possess the character traits that would make them successful in that position. The common cybersecurity positions available include security analyst, information security consultant, cybersecurity compliance specialist and secure applications engineer, Tan shared.
