A review on “Internet Security – IMPACT – To fight cyber terrorism”





Nowadays, cyber security threats have been a global major issue. From the cyber war of Estonia, we can clearly know that cyber security threats can even jeopardize a country security and economic prosperity. A country critical infrastructure is highly depending on Information Technology System for crucial operations.

However, there is no one owns the Internet, cyber security preparedness and awareness are the duty and responsibility of all Internet users.

With the implementation of IMPACT, we should be proud of being a Malaysian. IMPACT is the world’s first international public-private sector collaborative institution against cyber terrorism. The aim of the IMPACT is to bring governments and international private sectors together to deal with the increasing security threats in cyberspace. The IMPACT will also build an electronic collaborative platform in order to link all member countries. It enables experts to collaborate with one another.

Besides, IMPACT also collaborates with ITU in aiming at building synergies to provide:
1) Real-time analysis, aggregation and dissemination of global cyber threats information
2) Early warning system and emergency response to global cyber threats
3) Training and skills development on the technical, legal and policy aspects of cybersecurity.

The implementation of IMPACT - such a great non profit organization is encouraging and most welcomed. Keep it on, Malaysia BOLEH!!!
