KUALA LUMPUR: The government needs to spend more to bolster the country’s defence against increasing cyber threats, said Senior Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
During an interview in conjunction with the “Malaysia Prihatin” Achievements of the Defence Ministry recently, he said the country would be vulnerable to cyber attack if all information was compromised and irresponsible parties took advantage of the situation.
“I can honestly say that we still need a lot of money to improve our defence in dealing with cyber threats, but I cannot reveal the percentage of our defence capabilities, but we do need more (financially).
