Malaysia akan percepat migrasi kuantum lindungi data negara
Ia susulan perkembangan teknologi pengkomputeran kuantum yang dijangka membawa cabaran baharu terhadap keselamatan siber.
Malaysia is considering accelerating its quantum migration to strengthen national data security in the face of emerging challenges posed by quantum computing technology. Communications and Multimedia Minister Fahmi Fadzil has asked the Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) to discuss with the National Communication Council (MKN), National Cyber and Security Agency (Nacsa), and telecommunication companies to explore cooperation in this field.
The cooperation would involve establishing a research and development (R&D) space to enable Malaysia to carry out quantum migration more efficiently and securely.
During a visit to the Mobile World Congress Doha 2026, Fahmi highlighted the importance of quantum-safe communication for future data security. Quantum computing is expected to present significant challenges to current cryptography and data mining methods. Malaysia is contemplating speeding up its quantum migration process and has requested the SKMM to engage with MKN, Nacsa, and telecommunication companies to create a platform for R&D and implement quantum migration more effectively and securely.
The minister sees several innovative technologies, such as the integration of artificial intelligence in smart city services and aspects of cybersecurity, as opportunities during his visit to the exhibition. Quantum migration refers to the process of upgrading existing digital security systems to quantum-resistant technologies capable of protecting data from quantum computing threats in the future.
