New Cybersecurity Laws: Is Your Company Prepared?

With potential fines and jail time in play, what does Malaysia’s Cyber Security Act 2024 mean for workplaces and organisations? In this episode of The Workplace, we unpack Malaysia’s Cyber Security Act 2024, a law that brings new standards and serious consequences for companies handling digital threats.

Effective as of August 26th, the Act mandates clear protocols on cyber incident notifications, response procedures, and imposes stringent penalties for non-compliance.

Joining us are Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi, Partners at Halim Hong & Quek, who break down what qualifies as a cybersecurity incident under the law, step-by-step obligations for businesses, and much more.

They also share practical guidance on navigating cybersecurity incidents and offer essential advice on how businesses can protect themselves and meet the Act’s compliance requirements.

Tune in to understand how this law could impact your organisation and what steps are critical to ensure compliance in an increasingly digital world.
