As Malaysia advances deeper into the digital economy, the recently passed Malaysian CybersecurityAct marks a turning point in how businesses and public institutions must approach cyber defence.
More than a legal requirement, the Act sets a new national benchmark for trust, resilience, and digital competitiveness. And TM One, as Malaysia’s trusted digital enabler, is at the forefront of helping organisations navigate this shift.
Recently, Dr. Saiyid Syahir Al-Edrus, General Manager of Cybersecurity at TM One, was speaking on BFM 89.9 to share expert insights on what this Act means for business leaders across industries.
Why Compliance Is No Longer Optional—It’s a Business Imperative
During the interview, Dr. Saiyid highlighted that the Cybersecurity Act is a vital framework designed to protect national interests, digital businesses, and sensitive personal data. It applies to 11 critical sectors, including Government, finance, transportation, and healthcare—each required to adopt globally recognised security standards like ISO/IEC 27001 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
Cybersecurity is now a boardroom priority—not just an IT issue.
“The Act makes cybersecurity compliance not just an IT function, but a strategic business priority,” he explained. “It’s about resilience, trust, and protecting what matters most.”
Turning Compliance Into Competitive Advantage
While many organisations may see compliance as a checkbox exercise, TM One sees it as an opportunity:
To strengthen digital trust
To mitigate reputational and operational risk
And to build long-term value in the digital economy
Dr. Saiyid highlighted the real challenge most enterprises face: not knowing where or how to start.
With cyber threats evolving rapidly—from AI-driven attacks to emerging quantum risks—leaders must move beyond reactive strategies. The path forward requires a holistic, proactive approach to enterprise security.
How TM One Enables Cyber Confidence for Malaysian Enterprises
As a strategic partner to both public and private sectors, TM One delivers end-to-end cybersecurity services designed to help organisations lead with confidence in this new era. Our capabilities include:
“Cybersecurity is not just about ticking boxes —it’s a catalyst for digital growth, customer trust, and operational excellence,” Dr. Saiyid concluded. He encouraged organisations to conduct internal assessments, upskill teams, and collaborate with trusted experts to build long-term cyber resilience.
