CyberSecurity Malaysia will fully utilise the RM60 million allocation announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Budget 2024 yesterday to strengthen the national cyber security ecosystem.

As a national cyber security specialist centre and technical agency, CSM will fully benefit from this allocation to strengthen its technical capabilities, conduct research, empower cyber security initiatives and programmes that are preventive, proactive and responsive through identified projects, he said.
