Key points
- In Malaysia, even back in July, we are seeing AI-driven attacks and attacks done by AI agents, because we also handled a lot of cyber criminal cases for large organisations.
- Fong said the growing use of AI by hackers underscored the need for organisations to adopt the same technology to strengthen their defences, as conventional human-led monitoring and response could struggle to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated threats.
- Fong said small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which often had limited resources for cybersecurity, were particularly vulnerable to cyber attacks as business growth often took priority over cybersecurity, while limited preventive measures and backups could worsen the impact of an attack.
