Protect Your Data, and Your Bottom Line

According to Bernama, there were more than 20,000 cyber crime cases and losses amounting to RM560 million recorded in Malaysia in 2021, an increase of more than 6,000 cases and an additional RM21 million lost compared to 2019.

By all accounts, that’s a huge number just for Malaysia alone and you can see that Personal Data is the hottest commodity today. Almost every industry needs some form of personal data to transact business. Thus, organisations need to ensure that they are handling such data properly. In fact, Deputy Secretary-General (Security) of the Home Ministry, Datuk Abdul Halim Abdul Rahman was quoted at a recent event saying that the digital economy is expected to contribute to 22.6 percent of Malaysia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2025.
