Malaysia Cyber Security Strategy 2020-2024 7

The government has also established
the National Cyber Coordination and
Command Centre (NC4), a centre that
deals with cyber threats and crises at the
national level. The NC4 was developed
under the purview of the NACSA as a
central coordination and command facility
responsible for managing cyber security
at the national level, including mitigation,
preparedness and response functions at a
strategic and tactical level. It is connected
to the entire main cyber security-operating
centre (SOC) in Malaysia namely MCMC
Network Security Centre, Government
Integrated Telecommunications Network
(GITN) SOC, Cyber Defence Operation
Centre (CDOC) and Cybersecurity Malaysia
SOC. It has the ability to determine the
national cyber security threat level and
assess the impact of the threats to the
country.

Malaysia has also implemented the initiative
to ensure the adoption and certification of
the CNII agencies (public and private) to
the MS ISO/IEC 27001: Information Security
Management Systems standard and other
related certifications. This initiative is to
ensure the CNII agencies and organisations
have the necessary information security
protection in place and are in compliance
with the standard. Appropriate measures
will also be prepared to protect other non-
CNII sectors such as the manufacturing,
construction, education and retail since
cyber threats and attacks in these sectors
also pose risks to the overall economic
wellbeing and security of the nation.
