NACSA on Securing Malaysia’s AI Rollout

Speaking on the importance of embedding security into Malaysia’s AI journey, Azlina Binti Ab Aziz, Principal Assistant Director at the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), said: “AI will not simply transform Malaysia’s digital future. It will redefine our economic competitiveness, national resilience and public trust. However, innovation at speed, without security at its core, creates risk at scale. Malaysia must lead not only in adopting AI, but also in securing it. At NACSA, we are embedding cybersecurity across the entire AI lifecycle and protecting the data, models, infrastructure and applications that power it. Through the AI Systems Cyber Security Framework, cybersecurity becomes a strategic enabler of responsible innovation. Our vision is clear: an AI ecosystem that is secure by design, resilient by default and trusted by all.”
