Cyber Savvy Kids: Fortifying Our Digital Future

This week, we’re joined by Steven Scheurmann, Regional VP for ASEAN at Palo Alto Networks, as he delves into the urgent need for cybersecurity awareness and education. With a staggering 72% of Malaysian companies at high risk of compromise due to cybercrime, Steven will shed light on the critical role of the Cyber A.C.E.S program in nurturing a cybersecurity-conscious generation. Catering to children aged 5-15, the program promises to equip digital natives with the tools necessary to navigate the virtual world safely, potentially sparking their interest in cybersecurity careers. We'll also discuss the vital role of public-private partnerships in fortifying our national technology defences.
