National cybersecurity agency honours Computerworld Malaysia for second year running, wins two awards

CyberSecurity Malaysia has honoured Computerworld Malaysia for the second consecutive year during the national cyber security agency’s second annual IT and media awards ceremony, supported by officials from the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation [MOSTI].

During the ceremony held 22 March 2016 at KL Hilton, the MOSTI minister YAB presented Computerworld Malaysia editor AvantiKumar with two awards including a personal award as journalist for coverage throughout 2015.

In his welcome note, CyberSecurity Malaysia’s Chairman YAB General Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Panglima Mohd Azumi bin Mohamed (Retired) commended the role played by the recipients in increasing cyber security awareness in the country.

“The presence of the [MOSTI] minister is testimony to the importance of the appreciation given today to the media,” he said. “Cyber security resilience requires the equal participation of both the public and private sectors and the support of media, which provided accurate and ethical reporting. During 2015, the media’s coverage of national CyberSecurity Malaysia initiatives reached almost 1000 features amounting to about RM15 million worth of PR (public relations) value.” For the full article click here
