Malaysia took the lead when The International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber-Terrorism (IMPACT) was formally launched on
20 May 2008 at the World Cyber Security Summit (WCSS), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The United Nations have also joined in the fight against cyber terrorism by supporting the global coalition of the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber Terrorism (IMPACT).
An initiative has been started in Malaysia to bring together governments, industry leaders and experts to coordinate responses to attacks on cyber security and vital infrastructure. IMPACT’s primary mission is to raise the world’s capacity to monitor, identify, respond to, defend and secure against all forms of cyber threats. IMPACT is dedicated to bringing together governments, industry and academia to collectively enhance the capability of the global community to prevent and respond to cyber threats. IMPACT has four core activities: global response to cyber attacks; study of policy and international cooperation; training and skills development, and security certification and research.
Besides that, Malaysia is also one of the first few countries to have comprehensive legislation against Cyber Terrorism such as the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998, Computer Crime Act 1997 and etc. These legislations are to tackle the issues of cyber terrorism. Ministry of Science, Technology and Information have also established Cyber Security Malaysia as an agency that provides ICT security specialist services and continuously monitors threats to national security.
