Cybersecurity audit needed to guarantee user data security, says Fahmi

An audit of cybersecurity needs to be done to guarantee the data security of users in the country, said Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil.

He said his ministry needs to identify the vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the existing ecosystem to avoid data theft from continuing.

Fahmi said the Communications and Digital Ministry will also play an important role in assessing and assisting other agencies, departments as well as ministries in ensuring that cybersecurity will be a priority. “I do not want any more incidents in any department of data being compromised, hacked, or stolen whether or not these are related to the actions of scammers,” he said.

“If you are a victim , do not be ashamed or afraid. Call within 24 hours of the incident so that Bank Negara can stop the outflow of funds from the system,” he said.
