Malaysia has joined Singapore and Ghana in a request of cybersecurity professionals and firms to get licenses and certifications to offer certain services. This bill, set to become law upon royal assent and publication in the Government Gazette, serves as foundational legislation. Its aim is to bolstering national cybersecurity and protecting critical infrastructure. The Bill will likely affect those providing critical IT protection services, such as penetration testers.
