Could Malaysia Withstand a Major Cyberattack?

from Morning Brief Hosted by BFM Media

France has accused Iranian state-linked hackers of targeting refrigeration systems at more than 700 retail sites, causing damage and even fires, a sign that cyber attacks now reach well beyond stolen data. Closer to home, Malaysia's national cyber threat level has been raised from low to medium, with more than 5,000 incidents recorded in the first nine months of the year. Jonathan Jackson, Chief Information Security Officer specialising in Cybersecurity and AI Governance at BlackBerry, joins us to examine how investigators attribute attacks, why identity theft is becoming the front line, and how prepared Malaysia is. He also looks at what business leaders can do to build cyber resilience. The Morning Brief is brought to you by CIMB Private Wealth.
