Recently today, the Cyber Digital Services Defence & Security Asia 2023 took place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. This event was attended by Minister of Communications and Digital, YB Fahmi Fadzil. The 3 days expo runs from 15 to 17 August 2023.
The theme for this expo is “Advancing Digitalisation and Security Through Collaboration”. It aims to create a platform for networking, idea exchange, and forging alliances that will lead the nation to a better digital future. The event was organised by Aerosea Exhibitions Sdn. Bhd in conjunction with CyberSecurity Malaysia. The Malaysian Armed Forces were also involved through Cyber Defence and Electromagnetic Division.
Moreover, CyberDSA intends to emphasise cybersecurity technologies and innovations, with over 100 exhibitors involved. The event also covers keynote addresses, talks, and roundtable discussions. Plus, it covers topics such as cyber defence, land & cellular network security, big data, cloud computing solutions, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology. Fahmi Fadzil said:
"The cybersecurity landscape has witnessed a surge in increasingly sophisticated and persistent threats, and no single entity, nor state can tackle this challenge alone. The theme of “Advancing Digitalisation & Security Through Collaboration” is apt, as we must unite governments, businesses, academia, and civil society to leverage collective intelligence, resources, and expertise to fortify our defences and respond effectively to cyber incidents.
But it does not end there, the event features a Hackathon Competition sponsored by Telekom Malaysia and a Special Opening Ceremony on 16 August 2023 by Siber Siaga. If you are a tech enthusiast, this expo might catch your attention.
