Santa Clara, Calif. January 23, 2025  – NSFOCUS, a global provider of intelligent hybrid security solutions, today announced that it has received two security service licenses from the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA) of Malaysia, being one of the first licensed companies that can provide two crucial services in Malaysia: Managed SOC (Security Operations Center) monitoring and Pentest (Penetration Testing). In the context of Malaysia’s enhanced cyber security landscape with the implementation of the Cyber Security Act 2024, this is a significant milestone for NSFOCUS’s business development in Malaysia and APAC region.

The Cyber Security Act 2024, which came into effect on 26 August 2024, has introduced a comprehensive regulatory framework to safeguard Malaysia’s critical information infrastructure (CII). It mandates a licensing regime for cyber security service providers to ensure the quality and reliability of services in the market. NSFOCUS has met the stringent requirements set by NACSA and is now authorized to offer its expertise in the nation.

SOC monitoring is essential for continuous surveillance of an organization’s IT environment to detect and respond to cyber threats promptly. With NSFOCUS’s advanced Managed SOC monitoring capabilities, users can benefit from real-time threat intelligence and proactive security measures. This service helps in identifying and mitigating potential security breaches before they can cause significant damage to the CII sectors, which include government, healthcare, energy, agriculture, and many others as designated by the act.

NSFOCUS Penetration Test, which is CREST-accredited, is delivered by certified senior test engineers to discover exploitable risks and help clients improve their security posture. NSFOCUS Penetration Test supports black & gray box testing for compliance with top security test guidelines, including OWASP Top 10, NIST, and PCI-DSS, in addition to extensive testing including Web, APIs, IoT devices, SCADA/OT devices, internal networks, wireless and physical systems, 5G infrastructure, social engineering, etc.

As Malaysia continues to strengthen its cyber defenses, NSFOCUS looks forward to playing an active role in ensuring the security and resilience of the nation’s critical information infrastructure.
