Recognising this critical need, the Ministry of Digital is spearheading a national effort to build cyber-resilience. Through updated legislation, strategic public-private partnerships, and capacity-building initiatives, Malaysia is taking bold steps to safeguard its digital future.
This comprehensive approach culminates in the 5G & Operational Technology (5GOT) Security Summit 2025, happening 15鈥17 July 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
