Building Malaysia’s cyber resilience 

Building Malaysia’s cyber resilience

In a landmark move, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has released the Information and Network Security Guidelines (INSG) to elevate cybersecurity within the communications and multimedia sector.

The INSG is a proactive measure to improve Malaysia’s internet by making it safer, protecting users and their privacy and countering against online threats. It is applicable for services providers under the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998 and other industries as part of their cybersecurity measures.

Preparation to meet INSG safeguards will require significant effort from service providers, but it also presents an opportunity to safeguard Malaysia’s overall digital ecosystem. 

The INSG offers a robust framework, improving cybersecurity resilience and consumer protection, while avoiding additional regulation. This effort reflects a collective commitment from various sectors, contributing to a secure digital environment in Malaysia.
