Privacy-First Cybersecurity Governance: Ensuring Data Protection and Trust
5 - 6 August 2024
The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) of Malaysia, enforced since November 2013, establishes a comprehensive framework for protecting personal data, balancing organizational data processing needs with individuals' privacy rights. Recently, the Cyber Security Act (CSA) 2024 was passed to fortify national cyber security, introducing regulatory measures to manage cyber threats.
Our training programme plays a pivotal role in enabling data users to understand their responsibilities under both the PDPA and the CSA. Participants will gain a clear understanding of their legal obligations, learn practical steps to protect personal data, and acquire tools to implement robust data protection and cybersecurity measures.
This course empowers data users to establish effective data management practices, develop compliant policies, and communicate the importance of data privacy and cybersecurity within their organizations, ensuring responsible and lawful data processing.
