KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 — Cyber security should become the priority of every nation, especially on matters underlying economic and national security, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The Prime Minister said it as such, it has become one of the government’s main focus areas to complement efforts in accelerating the economic growth of this country.
“It has become an issue which seen no country can solve it alone as that cyber threats know no borders and become more sophisticated and complicated than ever.
“We cannot escape anymore from emphasising the elements of cyber security in each and every initiative,” he said when launching the Cyber Defence & Security Exhibition and Conference 2021 (CYDES 2021) virtually this morning.
Muhyiddin noted the problem also warrants the government to give serious attention due to the upward trend of cyber incidences and cyber crime in the past three years.
