Govt systems need to be beefed up against cyberthreats

KUALA LUMPUR: It is important to establish the chief information security officer’s position within every ministry to effectively address the issue of data breaches following recent incidents such as the Socso database breach, says Fahmi Fadzil.

The Communications and Digital Minister said the responsibility for this change lies with the Chief Secretary, chief executive officers, and the highest echelons of ministries.
