Potragaya – modern Breast attack on Malaysia airports BHD (MAHB) holders Significant concerns among cyber security experts regarding the country’s critical infrastructure flexibility against electronic threats.
Participated Professor Dr. Mohamed Khaiolnaz Zeni of the University of Technology Mara said that although initial reports indicate that MAHB has successfully contained the ransom attack, such incidents are an invitation to wake the decisive waking all the critical sectors to enhance cybersecurity in the face of increasing cyber threats.
“This attack proves that the country’s critical infrastructure is a major goal for electronic criminals.
Bernama said: “While MAHB was able to contain the situation, electronic threats are still a continuous threat, capable of beating at any time and targeting any organization,” said Bernama.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Datock Siri Anwar Ibrahim revealed that the MAHB digital system was recently attacked by infiltrators who demand a $ 10 million ransom (44.39 million Malaysian Rangeette).
The media reported that the cybersecurity caused a delicacy that lasts more than 10 hours in Kuala Lumpur International AIPORT (KLIA) on March 23, which made the airport’s aviation information exhibition system, check -in -order meters, and dealing with luggage is not suitable for work, forcing airlines and airport employees to manual operations.
And detailing a period, Mohamed Khaiolnazam stressed that such attacks should be deterred at any cost, as it can have operational and financial repercussions and a severe reputation, especially when targeting critical infrastructure such as airports.
He pointed out that the ransom attack can disrupt flight schedules, interfere with ticket systems, and constitute great security risks if sensitive passengers’ data is penetrated, given that modern airports are largely dependent on the digital systems of their operations.
Muhamad Khairulnizam recommended investing in advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and real -time threat detection systems. He also stressed the importance of conducting regular security audits and enhancing awareness of cybersecurity for employees.
He said that the weaknesses in cybersecurity often arise from human error, and therefore continuous education and increasing awareness are necessary to ensure that everyone understands how electronic attacks can arise and how to prevent them.
Due to the fact that the College of Hospitality and Administration Dean, the Faculty of Aviation in Malaysia, and Dr. Nurolbiti Mohamed, also said that the aviation industry in Malaysia must follow a proactive approach to prevent cybersecurity threats with a focus on the elements of the process and the adoption of technology.
She said that the elements of the operation involve governance and protocols that need to be continuously upgraded to adapt to advanced electronic threats.
“For technology, we have to focus on implementing flexible information technology infrastructure such as Blockchain technology to enhance security to counter cyber threats and prevent them again and again,” she said.
Norulipty said that well -known airlines such as the UAE began to implement this Blockchain technology, while Singapore Airlines has not yet fully integrated technology through their broader operations, most likely to the technical complications involved in Blockchain solutions that go beyond loyalty programs, as well as the need for careful integration with old systems and organizational considerations.
She said: “The cyber attack on KLIA has affected the operational process and will have a special impact on the audience. Repeated electronic attacks may destroy the general perception and confidence in aviation security. The audience will feel insecurity and frustration.”
Compared to the invisible threat of clubs, Nurolbeti stressed the need for regulatory improvements, especially in the laws to protect the cybersecurity and cyber security that involve the aviation industry.
Therefore, the relevant authorities and organizations have urged to start taking proactive steps towards strengthening cybersecurity measures.
She also emphasized that cyber attacks are a resulting threat to the safety and security of aviation, distinct from traditional concerns such as terrorism or physical attacks.
“Without a timely procedure, these incidents may continue to occur, which may disrupt the critical infrastructure and undermine the confidence of the public,” she said.
Meanwhile, Captain Nurrazan Mahmoud, CEO of Civil Aviation in Malaysia, said that Caam has been closely cooperated with MAB, where she provided assistance in their business continuity plan (BCP), such as allocating the aircraft gate.
He said when he was contacted here today: “At the same time, we are also working closely to ensure that there are no future attacks and engineering. – Bernama
