00:00 Dear Prime Minister, please place your right palm onto our cube.
00:03 Three, two, one.
00:05 Now the CCOE is a milestone in our journey towards creating a robust cyber security ecosystem,
00:18 necessitating strong partnership across the public and private sectors.
00:25 Towards a more secure digital environment, we can collaborate to develop plans that encourage
00:34 information sharing and expertise exchange between government agencies and other
00:41 stakeholders, including sharing actionable threat intelligence.
00:48 We commend BlackBerry for helping to upskill our next generation of cyber defenders.
00:56 Accelerating our goal to bolster national regional security and innovation.
01:00 I hold you responsible if you don't train enough of our guys.
01:04 People sometimes, even here, they think because I smile a lot they think I'm soft. No.
01:13 Because I've learned a lot from ex-authoritarian leaders.
01:21 Malaysia has a shortfall of 12,000 cyber security professionals.
01:28 Now, you can imagine in the next few years, we need 25,000 workers in cyber security by 2025.
01:37 Now I'm not suggesting that BlackBerry covers all that, but the initial training,
01:43 I think to be monitored by the NSC, the Security Council, not just you.
01:51 Will update me from time to time whether you're behaving yourself or not.
01:55 We envision this center as a capacity building hub for the wider Southeast Asian region
02:05 with a specific focus on enhancing threat intelligence sharing and fostering regional
02:11 cooperation in mitigating cyber security threats and combating cyber crime.
02:17 Now, as the chosen location for the establishment of CCOE, Malaysia aims to deliver upon our shared
02:23 goal to establish a globally competitive skills and learning ecosystem in the Indo-Pacific region.
02:31 Forging international partnerships, specifically those harnessing advanced technologies in AI and
02:38 machine learning, assumes importance in the positive growth of our economic trajectory.
02:46 Through this strategic collaboration, we not only stimulate economic advancement and prosperity,
02:54 but also bolster the resilience on cyber security infrastructure against the maraad risks that
03:01 pervade the digital landscape by keeping the nation's data, conversations and citizens safe.
03:10 Thank you.
