KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): More than 3,600 cyber security incidents have been reported by the Malaysian Armed Forces in the first four months of this year, says Chief of Defence Force Gen Tan Sri Affendi Buang. "In line with this emerging danger, both the government and the Armed Forces have enhanced their cyber security capacities in predicting, detecting, deterring and responding to this threat. He said NACSA, in the Malaysia Cyber Security Strategy 2020-2024, had indicated that cyber threats would increase significantly. In addition, he said the government and security agencies would also prefer to retain cyber security measures within national boundaries to comply with national cyber security laws and strategies, to enable better control over its environment and infrastructure. As such, outsourcing cyber security might also expose vulnerabilities in our nation’s survival," he added.- Bernama
