Ministry of Digital Malaysia

YB Tuan Gobind Singh Deo

Minister of Digital, Malaysia

The ASEAN region is rapidly advancing towards a digital future, with 5G playing a pivotal role in this transformation. The ASEAN 5G & OT Security Summit provides a platform for member states to collaborate, share best practices, and develop comprehensive security frameworks. This summit is a testament to our collective commitment to a secure, resilient, and inclusive digital ecosystem.

5G technology is set to revolutionise the digital landscape in ASEAN, offering unprecedented speed, connectivity, and innovation. However, with these advancements come significant security challenges. Operational Technology (OT) security is crucial to protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats. As we embrace 5G, ensuring robust OT security measures is essential to safeguard our economies and societies.

Our goal is to establish a unified approach to 5G and OT security across ASEAN. By fostering cooperation and leveraging shared expertise, we aim to create a robust security infrastructure that can withstand emerging threats.

This summit will pave the way for actionable strategies and policies that will enhance our digital resilience. Let’s engage, explore, and lead the way in shaping Malaysia’s digital economy at the 5G and Operational Technology (OT) Security Summit 2025. The future is ours to build—together!
