KUALA LUMPUR – Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil today expressed the need for state governments and government agencies in the country to allocate a certain amount of their budget for cybersecurity.
He said the matter needed to be emphasised as part of the efforts to avoid data loss.
“...we hope that YAB Tambun (Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) will emphasise cybersecurity aspects in the Budget 2023 tomorrow.
“We are working to enable a cybersecurity audit to be carried out at the federal and state government level, and hoping for a good announcement by the prime minister tomorrow,” he said during the ministers’ question time in the Dewan Rakyat today.
He was responding to a supplementary question from Datuk Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh (Perikatan Nasional-Pasir Puteh) on measures taken and will be taken by the government to address the data intrusion problem. – Bernama, February 23, 2023
