CyberSecurity Malaysia began its operation as the
Malaysian Computer Emergency Response Team (MyCERT) in 1997. In 1998, it became the
National ICT Security & Emergency Response Centre (NISER) and by 2007, NISER underwent another transformation and was renamed CyberSecurity Malaysia.
With a new mandate, CyberSecurity Malaysia is positioned as the national cyber security specialist under the
Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). It runs the Cyber999
TM Help Centre for Malaysian Internet users. It also provides safety tips, advisories, and specialised services in the fields of cyber security such as Digital Forensics and Wireless Security. In addition, it runs a Training Centre for professional certification; manages an Outreach Portal
www.cybersafe.my; and is the sole certification body for Common Criteria (ISO15408) in Malaysia.
