Digital Trust, Data Security Strategy To Be Presented In 3Q This Year - Gobind
PETALING JAYA, May 21 (Bernama) -- The Digital Trust and Data Security Strategy 2026-2030 is expected to be presented in the third quarter of this year, said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo.
He said the strategy is now being finalised, and the government is also focusing on preparing the relevant agencies to ensure its effective implementation.
"I hope that in the third quarter of this year, we can present that strategy and also launch the agency that will implement it.
"Behind that strategy, we also need an agency to ensure its implementation. It is an existing agency, but we will have to restructure it so that it can also oversee and enforce the strategy," Gobind told reporters after delivering his speech at the RHB Digital Trust Programme here today.
Meanwhile, RHB Banking Group today launched the RHB Digital Trust Programme, featuring RHB CyberSecure, Malaysia’s first bank-led cybersecurity self-assessment tool designed to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) better understand their cyber and fraud risk exposure.
The tool will also help SMEs assess their cybersecurity readiness, enabling them to take more informed and confident steps towards strengthening their digital resilience, RHB said in a statement.
As part of the programme, RHB Bank Bhd and CyberSecurity Malaysia exchanged a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen cyber awareness, capability‑building and resilience among Malaysian businesses through joint initiatives.
Commenting on the collaboration, CyberSecurity Malaysia acting chief executive officer Roshdi Ahmad said securing the digital ecosystem requires a collective effort across the public and private sectors.
"This partnership with RHB highlights the importance of industry‑led initiatives in building cyber resilience.
"By equipping SMEs with practical tools and knowledge, we are supporting businesses in managing evolving cyber threats while strengthening overall digital trust," he added.
