Cyber Digital Services, Defence & Security Asia 2024

Cyber DSA 2024 held at KL Convention Centre officiated by Ybhg Tuan Gobind Singh Deo - Minister of Digital, Malaysia - is a regional event focused on the cyber defense and security industry, including the military sector. It brings together cybersecurity professionals and executives from government, military/MINDEF , and private sectors, aiming to advance the cyber defense and security agenda.

The event showcases the latest technologies and shares valuable knowledge and insights on cyber intelligence, presented by regulators, policymakers, military personnel, CISOs, government officials, practitioners, and researchers from around the world.

The speakers were great. Had interesting discussions with Maxis representative on Dual Network 5G Model, Terrabyte X Picus on security of blockchain, firewalls, predictive analysis and risk management etc.

We covered most of the booths displaying sophisticated security and defense technology, applications and software but the ones that caught our attention are :

The Malaysia National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA) - a name that require no introduction - they have been THE frontline in the Malaysian cyber security landscape. There is also a joint project with Universiti Putra Malaysia introducing the primary information management system benchmarked to ISO 27701.

Defence Cyber and Electromagnetic Division, Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (Malaysian Armed Forces) - displaying a sophisticated defense and security surveillance system. We also met their strategic partner, none other than Telekom Malaysia and had resourceful conversation with one of the vendors Arvia as well. Innov8tif Solutions - ID verification to help digital businesses establish a full-fledged Customer Identity Assurance (CIDA) ecosystem.

Terrabyte X Picus - Providing Security Validation to counter Continuous Threat Exposure, cyber risk management, assessment and mitigation with data driven insights. What is most impressive that the system can also be a predictive model (which I think, if properly customized in the near future may prove useful to investors and general public as well)

Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam - College of Computing, Informatics and Mathematics

BlackBerry - again a name that requires no introduction

Quad Miners - a leading company in Network Detection and Response

and so many more.
