28 Nov 2014
Malaysia ranked 3rd place in the recent Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI). 

The aim of the GCI is to provide a snapshot of where countries stand in their cybersecurity engagements at the national level. United States came in at first place followed by Canada. Malaysia, Australia and Oman are at third place. 

The GCI looks at the country’s level of commitment in five areas: legal measures, technical measures, organizational measures, capacity building and cooperation. 

The project is a result of intensive primary and secondary research by both the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and ABI Research. Country level survey, complemented by in-depth qualitative research, were sent out to all ITU member states. 

Information that was collected for the GCI includes laws, regulations, CERTs and CIRTs, policies, national strategies, standards, certifications, professional training, awareness rising and cooperative partnerships.
