He said: 鈥淲e have been communicating and collaborating with our cybersecurity entities around the world.鈥� 

The CEO added: 鈥淲e have our command center in Malaysia. We share our intelligence with Singapore, Indonesia, and the rest of the world. However, without the capability and capacity of us receiving the information, we will not be able to translate that better whether it is a real threat or not, for example.鈥� 

Felix Barrio Juarez, director general of the Spanish National Cybersecurity Institute, indicated that in the EU, they are currently enhancing standardization processes to establish a set of requirements.  

Juarez added: 鈥淲e have to talk about national sovereignty in terms of technology, and cybersecurity allows this.鈥�
