Critical Strategies To Stay Ahead Of Emerging Cyber Threats

Organisations in Malaysia need faster and smarter cybersecurity tools to secure highly-connected emerging 5G environments

- Gavin Chow

Fortinet, a global leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions, urges organisations in Malaysia to deploy broad, powerful, and automated solutions built around deeply integrated security tools as interconnectivity and performance are impacting the threat landscape in the new digital environments.

Owing to digital transformation and upcoming 5G technology adoption in APAC; networks, devices, and applications are expected to move seamlessly between platforms and environments. Highly interconnected systems, such as smart cars, smart cities, and edge networks will require security to span dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of systems simultaneously. New interactive applications and services are also proliferating, driven by massive amounts of processing power. As a result, cybersecurity not only needs to support and secure more throughput, it also has to deliver decisions in as close to real-time as possible.

APAC presents a unique setting for 5G-led digital transformation with many fast-growing digital economies building up digital infrastructure for speed and connectivity. Countries like China, South Korea and Japan are already forerunners in rolling out 5G.
