Time Digital Pulse Check: Summit 2025

The Digital Imperatives: Navigating Global Change, Cyber Threats and Trade Complexity

In today’s rapidly evolving global landscape, Malaysian Mid-Tier Companies (MTCs) stand at a critical juncture where digital transformation is no longer optional, but an urgent strategic imperative. The cost of inaction is escalating rapidly, marked by the looming threat of significant financial penalties from regulations like the Malaysia Cyber Security Act 2024, the crippling financial fallout from sophisticated cyberattacks, and the complexities introduced by global trade tensions including tariffs. These aren't just IT concerns; they are strategic threats to your business continuity, compliance posture, and growth trajectory.

In collaboration with MATRADE, Deloitte, and NACSA, this exclusive, invite-only event is meticulously curated to provide MTC decision-makers with actionable strategies and comprehensive solutions to navigate regulatory landscapes, fortify digital defenses, optimise investments for efficiency, and leverage digital capabilities to unlock sustainable growth and competitiveness.
