Asia Pacific: Combat cyber crime, firms told
THE government and private sector should work hand-in-hand to combat crime which is becoming more sophisticated, said state police chief DCP Datuk Othman Talib.
Speaking at the ‘Crime and Policing in Malaysia’ forum at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in Penang, Othman said with the fast moving pace in information technology (IT), it was important for all parties to work together.
He added when crimes were investigated, physical evidence such as fingerprints, marked bills, DNA or video footage are collected but in cyberspace, global networks lacked effective identification mechanisms.
“Therefore, it is important for the police to learn from the private sector about intrusion attempts and susceptibilities,” said Othman.
