Oleksiy Kovalenko appointed Commander of Communications and Cyber Security Forces
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed Oleksiy Kovalenko as Commander of the Communications and Cyber Security Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The armed forces of Malaysia are set to establish a Cyber Force by 2030, marking the creation of a fourth service branch, according to General Tan Sri Malek Razak Sulaiman. This move comes as cyberspace and electromagnetic warfare have become vital components of modern security and military operations, with regional neighbors and other nations developing similar capabilities.
The nucleus team, tasked with planning and assessing the steps needed to operationalize the Cyber Force, was established last year, following approval from the Defence Ministry. Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin is scheduled to launch the nucleus team during the Armed Forces Day celebrations at the Lumut Naval Base.
The armed forces are currently developing capabilities in cyber operations, electronic warfare, and spectrum management, which have been applied during Exercise Camar Kilat Series 2/26. Additionally, a pool of CEMA specialists is being built, with 60 air force officers and 17 other ranks having attended related courses up to July.
