To power a tech-driven economy by 2030, the Malaysian Govt. has launched a 10-year digital economy blueprint called MyDIGITAL. The datacentre & cloud industry has emerged as the key enabler for realizing this vision. With all the favourable conditions like cost-competitive power availability, easy access to skilled employees, abundant renewable energy along with a relatively cheaper access to land and construction costs in the ASEAN region, the Malaysian datacentre market size is set to witness $1.4 billion investment by 2026. The country’s public cloud market alone has reached $643.4 million, making it the second-biggest cloud market in Southeast Asia.

We are excited to announce the launch of the ISMG Critical Infrastructure Summit, which will be taking place November 1st, marking the start of Infrastructure Security Month in November. Critical Infrastructure is where security hits home- we are so dependent on our infrastructure for so many facets of our daily lives. Critical functions of our societal dependencies such as water, power, transportation and financial services all are a part of critical infrastructure, and last year we saw first-hand through the Colonial Pipeline incident the strength of this dependency. Originally, operational technology and informational technology were separate, however, progressively there has been a greater interconnection between the two as the internet has evolved over time.
