Held annually, the Malaysia Cyber Security Awards is CyberSecurity Malaysia’s signature initiative created to drive public-private partnerships, and serves as both a knowledge sharing platform and to recognise the contribution of individuals and organisations in the Malaysian cyber security industry.

The Malaysia Cyber Security Awards are intended not only to recognise the efforts of information security professionals, homegrown SMEs and global organisations, but also to encourage innovation and spark strategic alliances within the local security and ICT industry; thus, emphasising the importance and growth of information security in Malaysia’s vibrant ICT landscape.
