NCSS 2026 To Be Held At PICC From July 7 To 9

KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 (Bernama) -- The National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), under the National Security Council (MKN) of the Prime Minister’s Department will host the National Cyber Security Summit (NCSS) 2026 from July 7 to 9 at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), Putrajaya.

MKN, in a statement, said the summit would bring together policymakers, industry leaders, practitioners and cyber security experts to drive efforts in advancing the country’s cyber security agenda, reinforcing strategic cooperation and enhancing Malaysia’s cyber resilience and preparedness against evolving digital threats.

“The organisation of NCSS 2026 is timely following the passing of the Cybercrimes Bill 2026 by the Dewan Rakyat on July 1.

“The bill is a result of the ongoing implementation of the Malaysian Cyber Security Strategy (MCSS) 2025-2030, a national strategic framework that charts the country’s cyber security direction,” the statement said today.

With the theme “Strengthening Sovereign Resilience”, NCSS 2026 will focus on building a more secure, trusted and resilient national cyber security ecosystem.

Held in conjunction with National Security Month (BKN), NCSS 2026 underscores Malaysia’s continued commitment to enhancing awareness, cooperation and preparedness in addressing increasingly complex cyber security threats.

NCSS 2026 will feature 41 high-impact sessions, including MCSS-related discussion forums, the Cyber Crime Forum, the ICT Security Officers (ICTSO) Convention, Women in Cyber, KRYPTECH sessions, technical presentations and closed workshops.

A total of 96 speakers and panellists representing the government, industry, enforcement agencies, technology sector, academia and the cyber security community will participate in the summit, alongside 122 companies comprising 78 local firms and 44 international companies from seven countries.

The event will also be attended by 250 local distinguished guests, as well as 3,000 participants, including trade visitors and conference delegates.

NCSS 2026 will also see the launch of the National Security Month programme, which includes the National Security Policy (DKN) 2026-2030; National Cryptography Policy (MyKriptografi) and MyKriptografi Action Plan 2026-2030; as well as the Artificial Intelligence Systems Cybersecurity Framework (AISCF).

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to launch the three initiatives under MKN and NACSA.

“NCSS 2026 reflects Malaysia’s commitment to fostering a secure and resilient digital ecosystem through strategic partnerships, information sharing and concerted action across the public and private sectors.

“It is expected to strengthen collaboration among key stakeholders while supporting the country’s long-term cyber security agenda,” the statement said.
