Nacsa tingkat ancaman keselamatan siber negara ke tahap sederhana

Nacsa, the National Security Intelligence Agency, has raised the country's cyber security threat level from low to simple, according to the Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN) and the Prime Minister's Department (JPM). This step is taken to remain vigilant and ensure the continued protection of essential national services from any possible disruptions, said MKN.

The agency has convened a meeting with the heads of sectors and critical national infrastructure entities (NCII) to strengthen preparedness coordination across all sectors. The meeting determined that all NCIi entities must implement nine cyber security preparedness actions, including 24-hour monitoring, system checks, evaluating various factors, and planning for service continuity, reported Bernama, quoting a statement from the Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament on November 3, in reference to security preparedness amid geopolitical conflict developments and regional and international tension.

MKN also announced that the head of NCII is required to submit a weekly cyber threat status report to Nacsa. Cyber security preparedness measures were also outlined during a special meeting of the prime minister's special advisor and chief service provider on November 3. In addition, Nacsa's National Security and Surveillance Headquarters (NC4) is conducting three main tasks on an ongoing basis: issuing cyber security alerts and advisories, strengthening monitoring and assessment capabilities, and monitoring cyber security for NCII entities and government agencies.

"This allows for preventive and mitigative actions to be taken earlier to reduce the risk of disruption to essential national services. "Throughout October 2026, NC4 has issued eight alerts and advisories related to vulnerabilities impacting NCII entities and government agencies," according to the statement. MKN remains committed to maintaining the security, stability, and sovereignty of the nation through comprehensive preparedness, personalized, and ongoing measures to protect citizens and national interests.

Previously, the Prime Minister stated that Malaysia is among the countries potentially targeted by cyber attacks due to its infrastructure digital strength and national data centers, as well as the government's firm stance on certain international issues, particularly Palestine and Gaza. He stated that this information is based on the government's risk assessment, but not all details of the threat can be disclosed to the public.
