The hands-on cyber
defense training organized by NEC Corporation and NEC Corporation Malaysia was aimed at enhancing the abilities
of system administrators in government agencies to effectively handle the
increasing threat of cyber-attacks. By providing simulations of a customer’s
ICT infrastructure, the practical training enables the cultivation of system
administrators with comprehensive cyber defense capabilities.

“This project is
another example of NEC’s leading position in the field of cyber-crime
prevention,” said Chong Kai Wooi, Managing Director of NEC Corporation of
Malaysia. “In order to cope with increasingly complex and sophisticated
cyber-attacks, it is critically important to cultivate experts who can analyze
vulnerability across an organization and respond to cyber incidents quickly and
appropriately.”

In January 2017,
Malaysia’s Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (KKMM) and the MIC signed
a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in the area of Information and
Communication Technologies, including cyber-security. As part of this
cooperation, NEC, in collaboration with the Embassy of Japan in Malaysia,
provided hands-on cyber defense training for two government agencies in Malaysia.
This training was similar to the MIC’s “Cyber Defense Exercise with Recurrence
(CYDER)” provided in Japan.

The program
capitalized on simulated government office network environments to provide
students with valuable first-hand experience in handling a full cyber-attack,
from the onset of an information security issue, to its final resolution. The
training not only imparted technical skills in handling a cyber-attack, but
provided important organizational measures for preventing the spread of
damages, including possible instructions for staff and the sharing of
information with related institutions.
