The computer is here in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Some of you may have heard about Conquia or just learned about computers today. However, today is the day when we want to shed light on the past and present of Computers, the global IT trend, and how they can contribute to your career development in the IT world, be it in Cyber City, server, or networking.

I believe that some of you here are from an HR or IT background, and it is crucial to understand how technology works toward the IT industry’s future.

Let’s start by discussing something that is currently threatening and concerning us all – the global dimension of cybercrime, which is costing us trillions of dollars globally. As I look at the data I am sharing with you today, let’s break it down by year, where the total cost of cybercrime globally was 6 trillion USD. This has affected us all around the world, including in Malaysia. Looking at it from a monthly business perspective, we can see that the cost can be around half a billion dollars, which is 500 billion. Now, breaking it down even further to a daily basis, the cost is around 16.4 billion dollars. And lastly, every second, even as we speak, cybercrime is costing us around 190,000 dollars in damages.

So, what are the things that contribute to cybercrime, and why is there a need for ID or even a service community, especially in terms of cybersecurity? Also, if we look into the talent demand for this team, why does it keep moving forward? The world of business and trade is looking into the daily server attacks, which happen all around the world, where we can see about 30,000 such attacks happening.
In conclusion, it is crucial to address the increasing concern of cybercrime, its impact on our daily lives, and the need for a robust cybersecurity system. As the demand for skilled talent continues to rise, we must take proactive measures to ensure our protection against cybercrime.

Today, I would like to share some alarming facts about global cybercrime. As we delve into the data, we can see that the total cost of cybercrime worldwide amounts to a staggering 6 trillion USD per year. This has affected not only parts of Google but also Malaysia and other countries globally. On a monthly basis, cybercrime costs can reach up to 500 billion USD, which equates to about 16.4 billion USD per day. Even more concerning is the fact that every second, 190,000 USD is spent on damage caused by IT attacks.

One may wonder what has contributed to the increase in cybercrime and why there is a need for an ID or a service community, especially in cyber security. The demand for talent in this field continues to grow as businesses and governments are becoming more aware of the impact of cyber attacks. On a daily basis, there are over 30,000 websites hacked, and over 50% of companies have experienced at least one security breach. Even during the pandemic, we have witnessed several high-profile attacks, such as the one on Malaysia Airport and Singapore’s Singtel Health Industry.
It is essential to be aware of the risks involved in using email, as approximately 90% of malware comes from email. Companies and individuals alike are worried about how to protect their devices, hardware, and software from cyber attacks. The question of who manages these threats is also a significant concern.

Although cybercrime remains a threat, there is some good news to report. Last year, Malaysia became a leading nation in subscription-based services, investing heavily in cybersecurity. According to Bloomberg, Malaysia is now at par with Russia and the UAE, ranking in the top 10 in the world. This is something we can be proud of, as our score is close to 100 at 98.06.

Looking ahead, we must consider the government’s projections and intentions for cyber security. The Malaysian government, for example, is aiming to recruit over 20,000 cybersecurity experts by 2025, more than double the initial projection of 10,500 in 2020. This is an area where the government and agencies must continue to invest, as cybercrime is a global threat that must be addressed.

I wanted to share with you today that 30,000 websites are hacked daily, and more than 50% of companies have experienced at least one attack. Even during the pandemic, we have seen attacks on the Malaysia airport and Singapore’s health industry, among other incidents. Cyber attacks are a growing concern for organizations, individuals, and government agencies alike. Email is a primary vector for malware, with an average of 90% of malware being delivered through email. This raises questions about how to protect devices, hardware, and software, and who will manage cybersecurity.
However, not everything is negative. In fact, there is good news to share about Malaysia’s role as a leader in cybersecurity. Bloomberg reported last year that Malaysia is one of the top countries investing in cybersecurity, with a score of 98.06, putting it on par with Russia and the UAE. This is something to be proud of and a positive development for the country.

Despite this good news, there is still a shortage of talent in the field, and the demand for cybersecurity experts is high. The IT and cybersecurity industries continue to grow, and the demand for professionals in these fields is increasing. The shortage of talent creates significant opportunities, and demand for blue service great experts and cybersecurity professionals is high.

When we consider the cost of cybercrime, we can see why countries are investing more in their cybersecurity. Every Asian country, including Malaysia, has experienced billions of dollars in losses due to cybercrime. Governments and organizations are increasing their budgets and spending on cybersecurity to defend against future attacks.

To address these challenges, we need to look forward and find ways to increase talent and create opportunities in the cybersecurity field. We need to work toward building a holistic approach to cybersecurity that considers the entire ecosystem of ID, servers, networks, and more. By doing so, we can reverse the trend and move forward with confidence.

As mentioned in the earlier overview, there is a high demand for blue service greet experts and ID experts due to the shortage of such talent in the market. The growth and demand in the IT industry and eye detailing industries are significant, and there is a need to focus on increasing talent in these areas.
Looking at cybersecurity spending, the costs of cybercrime in Asian countries, including Malaysia, run into billions of dollars. Therefore, countries in the Asian region are putting more money and resources into increasing their defense and protection against cyber attacks. The severity of cyber attacks is increasing, and we need to look forward and develop approaches to reverse this trend.
Businesses cannot afford to be complacent and must invest in talent to complete the ecosystem. This includes ID, server, network, and other related emerging technologies such as telecom services. The spending on technology in Malaysia is equivalent to the spending in the US, highlighting the significant growth in IT technology in this part of the world.

The spending is related to employment opportunities, with job streams requiring technical support, information security, and network management as the top three in-demand jobs in 2021, especially during the pandemic.

In summary, there is a growing demand for talent in the IT industry and related fields, with cybersecurity being a significant concern. It is crucial to focus on increasing talent and developing innovative solutions to protect against cyber attacks, while also ensuring employment opportunities in the sector.

Let’s explore the reasons for the global and local demand for IT experts. Despite the shortages, opportunities abound for blue service greet experts and ID experts, which underscores the significance of growth and demand in the IT world and eye detailing. To illustrate this, let’s take the example of cyber security spending. The publican costs in the global economy run into billions of dollars, with Asian countries, including Malaysia, allocating more spending and budgeting to increase their defense and presentation capabilities in the face of the increasing severity of cyber threats.

To reverse this trend and keep moving forward, businesses cannot afford to be complacent in terms of data and need to create more opportunities to complete the ecosystem, including in ID, server, network, and other related areas.

Now, let’s discuss the job market in the tech industry. Recently, there has been an increase in demand for technical support, information security, and network management jobs. In 2021, the top three jobs in demand were technical support, information security, and network management. This trend continues, providing ample opportunities for those seeking to grow their careers in this field.
Let me share my own experience in the IT industry. Starting out as a technical support person for HP, I eventually led IT teams in my past organizations. In the past, the focus was on tech support, maintenance, and software. However, this perception has changed. IT has evolved from being solely a back-office function to becoming an essential component of an organization’s central operations.
Today, the IT department’s input is highly valued in the boardroom, and CIOs and CTOs have become critical members of an organization’s leadership team. The government and enterprises also have special advisors or officers for the minister to oversee the IT department’s role in driving digital transformation.

In conclusion, the demand for IT experts is growing worldwide, and the industry presents vast opportunities for career growth. It is vital to stay ahead of the curve by keeping up with the latest trends and innovations to help companies succeed in the digital age.

Previously, there were around 4,000 technical support jobs, 700 security jobs, and 1,400 management jobs. These numbers have increased as of last week, which means there are plenty of opportunities for those looking to advance their careers.

In the past, IT skills were focused on tech support, maintenance, and software development. Anyone in IT knew how to format a laptop or desktop. However, the IT world has evolved, and IT personnel are no longer just confined to the back room. Nowadays, IT staff is seen in the boardroom, and there is more emphasis given to their roles. Companies are looking for more digital input, which has led to the emergence of new roles such as CTO, CIO, and special advisors.

The government has also put in a lot of effort to support digital transformation. We are here to help people grow and connect with us, and we offer training and upskilling opportunities. Ultimately, the end goal is to get certified. Employers are looking for people with degrees and multiple competencies, which is becoming a hiring requirement. Companies such as Petronas, Telecoms, TM, and Gambia are incorporating certification as part of their hiring process.

Training alone is not enough to validate one’s competency. Hiring managers and HR need to see a justification for a person’s skills, which is why certification is becoming increasingly important. In the past, there has been significant growth in education, training, and self-study. Recently, more and more candidates are taking certification exams to validate their training and improve their career prospects.
In conclusion, the demand for IT professionals is growing, and companies are looking for candidates with strong skill sets and certifications. As an industry, we must keep up with the latest trends and provide upskilling opportunities to help individuals achieve their career goals.
