The country&rsquo;s growing digital economy, expansion of cloud adoption, rising fintech innovation, and accelerated digitalization across government and enterprise sectors have made security monitoring more critical than ever. As threats increase in volume and complexity, organizations can no longer rely on traditional monitoring tools. They need advanced SIEM platforms that offer real-time visibility, intelligent analytics, and automated response.<\/p>\n<p>Malaysia&rsquo;s cybersecurity maturity has improved significantly over the past decade, yet cyberattacks against national institutions, financial services, manufacturing companies, and critical infrastructure continue to rise.
