National cybersecurity specialist agency CyberSecurity Malaysia has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Flexxon and AI MSP seeking to establish a comprehensive framework for cooperation in digital transformation and to introduce pre-emptive hardware-based AI cybersecurity solutions.
Malaysia has increasingly prioritised cybersecurity to protect its digital infrastructure and data, with its latest Cyber Security Bill passed in parliament in March. The Bill includes provisions such as the establishment of the National Cyber Security Committee, licensing of cyber security service providers and enforcement provisions.
The MoU will result in the Malaysian Government adopting Flexxon’s cybersecurity technologies and encouraging capacity building in information technology and information security across the country. Key activities include organising and participating in cybersecurity outreach events, training programmes, and service initiatives to promote awareness and best practices in cybersecurity.
Singapore-headquartered Flexxon is at the forefront of developing AI-embedded hardware security solutions. It unveiled the world’s first AI-powered cybersecurity SSD, the X-PHY Solid State Drive (SSD) in 2021. It has since expanded its suite of patented solutions to include the X-PHY cybersecurity laptops, X-PHY Server Defender and X-PHY Vault.
“This partnership underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge hardware-based security solutions that protect critical infrastructure and the vast network of data,” said Flexxon CEO Camellia Chan.
Malaysia’s collaboration with Flexxon and AI MSP aligns with the nation’s strategic goals, addressing the pressing need for advanced security measures in the face of increasing cyber threats. By integrating Flexxon’s AI-powered X-PHY hardware solutions, Malaysia aims to enhance its defensive capabilities and ensure a secure and resilient digital future for its citizens and industries.
