KUALA LUMPUR, June 1 — A holistic cybersecurity approach, which encompasses people, processes and technology, is required to combat cyber attacks, said Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
He added that Malaysia experienced an average of 84 million cyber attacks per day during the fourth quarter of 2022. “The cyber attacks include fraud, social engineering tactics, phishing, malware/ransomware, denial of service attacks and cyber espionage,” he said in his speech at the Surf’s Up: A Digital Literacy and Online Safety Summit, here today.
Meanwhile, Fahmi, alongside his deputy, Teo Nie Ching, witnessed the signing of the Digital Safety Pledge by TikTok, led by the Content Forum, which allows both platforms to work hand-in-hand in enhancing online safety.
