Malaysian government has made an impact against cyber terror by several means. The government has set up an international center with the name of IMPACT (International Multinational Partnership Against Cyber Terrorism) in the IT industry serving on its advisory board. The budget of this center has approved RM34mil and it is located in Cyberjaya. This non –profit organization is the first international public-private sector which bound to work against cyber terrorism. Two local IT companies – Ascendsys Sdn Bhd, a leading security services company, and GITN Sdn Bhd, a government IT network company that is owned by Telekom Malaysia – will run and coordinate the centre.
For a start, IMPACT would focus its activities in three key areas - security certification, research and development; as well as establishing a global emergency response centre. IMPACT has got off to a good start with some leading names lending their support. America's Symantec Corporation, Japan's Trend Micro, and Russia's KaperskyLlab have already agreed to be key partners and to serve on IMPACT's international advisory board to be established soon.
