“We have seen global cyber security players investing in Malaysia very recently and the sustainable growth of our own cyber security players is an evident that the industry is set to make a continued expansion. The private and public sectors are more and more beginning to see the relevance and benefits of adopting and applying security in their practices, process and technology,” said Lt. Col. Prof Husin bin Jazri, who will be speaking at Cyber Security for Government Asia 2012.

 

But as seen with the recent Wikileaks scandal technology alone can’t fight cyber security in governments.

 

People are both the problem and the solution explains Kim Andreasson, adviser to the United Nations on e-government, and Managing Director of DAKA advisory AB. Read his thought on the subject (Bizarrely no rules of engagement exist for cyber espionage and warfare)

 

“On the threat side, a single person can cause considerable damage by, among other things, launching distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against websites or hacking into data, whether remotely through the Internet or internally by, for example, using a USB device. On the solutions side, people are both the first line of defence (as in educated end users) and also the innovators of new solutions to enhance cyber security. In essence then, cyber security starts and ends with human beings,” said Andreasson who will also be speaking at the Cyber Security for Government Asia 2012 conference.
