Impact - to fight cyber terrorism
Malaysian Government has approved RM43 million to set up an international centre which offer the world the best brains and facilities to help fight cyber security threats.
The center is called International Multinational Partnership Against Cyber Terrorism(IMPACT). It will be based in Cyberjaya with leading names in the IT industry serving on its advisory board.

This will be the world's first international public-private sector collaborative institution against cyber terrorism. This idea was brought out last year by our Malaysian Prime Minister at the World Congress on Information Technology in Austin, US.
Well known names like Symantec Corporation, TrendMicro, F-Secure and Kaperskylab have agreed to be the key partners and serving the advisory board.
IMPACT will be run and coordinated by two local IT companies namely Ascendsys Sdn Bhd, a security services company and GITN Sdn Bhd, a government IT network company.

The purpose of fighting cyber security threats is good and encouraging. Security threats have been an issue when dealing with any internet activities and also the nightmare to all internet users. Thus, implementation of this project is most welcomed. However, the real questions are:
1. Does our government has the capability to respond as quickly and efficiently as possible?
2. Does our government has the necessary skills and knowledge to fend cyber-attacks?
These are crucial as we are dealing with high technology and it is ever changing and complicated. Frequent update and maintenance is vital to ensure the functionality of systems. Therefore, the government has to pump a sum of money into the maintenance works every year.
Take a look at government related websites, what do you think about those websites' maintenance? Are they up-to-date? Do they provide adequate information? Are they user-friendly? If the answers are majority yes, it indicates that the government is ready to implement such a project.
This project involves a huge amount of funds and thus a good and detailed plan is needed.to ensure the objectives achieved. Yet, I still have some questions. Can this project be carried out as planned? how to measure its effectiveness? Who, as a third party, will superintend the progress of project?
Looking at the past mega projects that launched by the government, which one has achieved its objectives successfully and efficiently? Proton? MSC? Singapore Bridge? Penang Bridge? Southern Johor Economic Region?
So, will this project be a success finally? We will wait and see.
