| Weekly Webinar: Cybersecurity Tech Relief for Business Continuity |
|
|
|
| As governments across the globe rally to flatten the curve of the Covid-19 outbreak, businesses are forced to rethink and re-strategize the way they operate. In response, companies in Malaysia have quickly adopted new operational strategies once the Movement Control Order(MCO) was introduced on March 18, 2020.
However, adopting to new operational strategies also means that companies are more vulnerable than ever in the sense of protection against any cybersecurity threats. The global cybersecurity threat landscape has recorded more than 600% increase phishing attempts and more than 1000 Malicious coronavirus-themed websites being set up daily since February 2020.
Hence MDEC, along with a few of the available cybersecurity partners, would like to invite your company to explore the options to improve your company's cybersecurity defence with a free trial up to 90 days through the Tech Relief Solution Program which is parked under #DigitalVsCovid campaign.
Join either one of the cybersecurity for Business Continuity webinars to find out what is in store and for you to enjoy up to 90 days of Cybersecurity Tech Relief Solutions |

| Everything has changed. Just a few weeks ago, all of us were living our usual busy lives. Now, things normally taken for granted—an evening with friends, the daily commute, a plane flight home—are no longer possible. Daily reports of increasing infections and deaths across the world raise our anxiety and, in cases of personal loss, plunge us into grief. There is uncertainty about tomorrow; about the health and safety of our families, friends, and loved ones; and about our ability to live the lives we love. |

| The Second World War led to radical changes in national governance and the international system. Something similar may occur following the global novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The quick reversal of orthodox government policy triggered by COVID-19 in many countries around the world is astounding. |
