Both public and private sectors need to work together to address the nation’s cyber security challenges. However, to attain effective cybersecurity solutions can be rather confounding; as the technology is often complex and constantly evolving, the vulnerabilities are vast and elusive, and the laws are fragmented and unclear.

Government and industry often bring a diverse range of resources, priorities, and perspectives to these issues that can sometimes be contentious. At a strategic level, all parties should be fundamentally aligned with a common shared desire to develop effective strategic solutions in addressing national cyber security challenges. The key is determining how best to maximize the collective resources of industry and government; hence the need for collaboration.

The CyberSecurity Malaysia Collaboration Program (CCP) serves as a strategic collaboration initiative with the local cyber security industry as well as other government entities in encouraging the development and innovation of Malaysia’s cyber security products and services.
