Malaysia has seen a surge in ransomware attacks in recent years, with high-profile cases like the KLIA ransom demand of USD10 million raising alarm about the country’s cyber resilience. As the nation’s digital economy grows, so too does its vulnerability. And experts warn that artificial intelligence is giving cybercriminals new tools, while the looming reality of quantum computing threatens to upend the very encryption that underpins global cybersecurity.

At the recent Cyber Defence & Security Asia (CyberDSA) conference, these issues took centre stage. In this episode, Ian Farquhar, Security CTO at Gigamon, explains why Malaysia must shift from a reactive to a proactive cybersecurity posture, how businesses can safeguard their hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and what resilience in a post-quantum world really looks like.
