In the latest Global Cybersecurity Index 2014, Malaysia is ranked third in terms of a nation with highest level of commitment to cybersecurity.
CyberSecurity Malaysia chairman General (Rtd.) Tan Sri Mohd Azumi Mohamed said: “Malaysia has achieved third position in global ranking among 193 International Telecom Union members, with the United States being first, Canada second and Malaysia tied with Oman.”
Malaysia was the first in terms of cybersecurity preparedness in the Asia-Pacific region, outranking other Asian countries.
Malaysia is also among the top scorers in the Technical Performance Index of the Global Cybersecurity Index 2014.
The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) is an ITU-ABIresearch joint project to rank the cybersecurity capabilities of nation states. Cybersecurity has a wide field of application that cuts across many industries and sectors. Each country’s level of development will therefore be analyzed within five categories: Legal Measures, Technical Measures, Organizational Measures, Capacity Building and Cooperation.
