The Cyber Security Act 2024 has been officially gazetted by the Attorney General's Chambers on 26 June 2024. This legislation is a major milestone in strengthening Malaysia's cyber defenses and enhancing our resilience against emerging threats.

The Cyber Security Act 2024 introduces several important features, such as the establishment of the National Cyber Security Committee. It outlines the duties and powers of the Chief Executive of NACSA, as well as the functions and duties of the National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII) sector leads and NCII entities. The act also addresses the management of cyber security threats and incidents related to NCII. Additionally, it includes provisions to regulate cyber security service providers through licencing.

In exercise of the powers conferred by subsection 1(2) of the Cyber Security Act 2024 [Act 854], the Prime Minister appoints 26 August 2024 as the date on which the Act comes into operation.
