In this episode. Khairelnaim and I delve into the intricate world of cyber security. Naim, a seasoned professional from the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA) in Malaysia, narrates his path to becoming the Head of Incident Response & Cyber Threat Intelligence at National Cyber Coordination & Command Centre (NC4) and provides insight into his daily responsibilities.
We unpack the pivotal role NACSA plays in Malaysia's cyber security landscape, its collaborations with other agencies, and the private sector. Our guest also sheds light on the workings and significance of the NC4 in Malaysia's cyber security framework.
Addressing current cyber threats, we discuss the evolution of these threats in Malaysia, the country's preparedness for cyber attacks, and the strategies deployed by NACSA.
The conversation then shifts to international cooperation through the the likes of UN Cyber Norm, and our guest shares his role in its implementation. We tackle why cyber incidents in Malaysian entities aren't often publicly discussed and the implications for the broader ecosystem and country.
In addressing the concerns of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), we explore the threats they face and the possible solutions. Our guest further shares insights about small-scale cyber security programs initiated by NACSA and their impact compared to larger vendor-sponsored conferences.
Looking towards the future, our guest shares his aspirations for Malaysia's cyber security landscape and offers advice for businesses and individuals to fortify their defenses against cyber threats. We also discuss the differences between cyber threats and online scams and whether they should all fall under the term "cybercrime."
Finally, we explore hypothetical changes in the national cyber incident response strategy, and our guest shares a glimpse of his life outside the professional sphere, detailing how he balances his demanding role with his personal life.
