Malaysia maintains moderate national cyber security threat level

The National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA) and the National Security Council (MKN) have reported that Malaysia's National Cyber Security Threat Level (NCTL) remains at a moderate level. Authorities stated that the current situation is under control, despite recent cyber security incidents and system disruptions involving several financial institutions.

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), acting as the head of the banking and finance sector, is implementing comprehensive preparedness measures. This includes continuous monitoring of National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII) entities within the sector to ensure essential services continue to operate smoothly. NACSA is working closely with sector heads and NCII entities to detect and address threats immediately.
