CyberDSA is expecting 150 exhibitors from 30 countries, 80 VIP delegates from 20 nations, a hundred expert speakers , and gather close to 8,000 trade visitors from all corners of the globe. Jointly organised by CyberSecurity Malaysia and the Malaysian Armed Forces’ (MAF) Defence Cyber and Electromagnetic Division (DCED), CyberDSA 2025 addresses the latest advancements, prospects and challenges faced by the digital domain in which its security is paramount Focus areas of the event include blockchain, cryptocurrency, database security, IoT and application security, incident response, and the transformative impact of generative AI.

“From ransomware targeting financial institutions to cyber espionage infiltrating government agencies, the risks we face are as real as they are unprecedented. New tactics like cryptojacking have also emerged, where cybercriminals use victims’ computers to mine cryptocurrency without their knowledge. This method requires no ransom and has proven highly profitable,” said Deputy Digital Minister Wilson Ugak.

“Cybersecurity is no longer a technical or IT issue. It is a national security imperative, an economic enabler, and a fundamental pillar of trust in the digital age. A single breach can disrupt economies, erode public confidence, and inflict significant financial losses.”

Next, unmanned platforms are now seemingly increasingly omnipresent across the air, land and sea domains, to which DronTech Asia 2025 stands ready to fuel growth not just for the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sector, but for Malaysia’s broader technology ecosystem and linking opportunities in advanced drone technology to Malaysia’s sophisticated, world-class semiconductor industry and beyond.

UAVs have seen increased use not only in the defence sector, but also commercial and private sectors for a plethora of applications. “Drones can also be linked to semiconductors, and Malaysia has a very interesting and sophisticated semiconductor industry. DronTech Asia 2025 will serve not only as a showcase of cutting-edge drone technology, but as a catalyst for sustainable, high-value growth for Malaysia and the region”, said Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) Liew Chin Tong.

Held jointly by Aerosea Exhibitions and GML Exhibition (Thailand), DronTech Asia is supported by MITI, the MAF, Fire and Rescue Department as well as the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security alongside various strategic partners.

DronTech Asia targets over 100 participating companies, 5,000 trade visitors and over 30 industry experts and professionals to speak at the show.-shp/adj/dl (Pix:CYBERDSA,DRONTECH)
