- Monitor Malaysia's cyber posture on BNM FinTIP and relevant external platforms.
- Provide consolidated risk views on incidents, threats, and vulnerabilities for management and Board visibility.
- Contribute to Cyber Defense Roadmap and remediation prioritisation discussions.
- Cyber Drills, Exercise & Readiness
- Own the Malaysia cyber incident readiness programme, including:
- Annual cyber drills and crisis simulations
- Tabletop exercises for senior management
- Industry and regulator‑driven exercises (e.g. RE4CT)

- Threat intelligence and vulnerability management matters
- DFIR coordination and assurance activities
- Interface with Group Operations & Technology on:
