「針對公私部門不斷進行的各種網路攻擊,威脅的不只是經濟成長,也威脅著國家安全。隨著美台的經濟走向更全面的數位轉型,確保各種由5G科技支援的物聯網裝置能夠保持安全,更是至關重要。」美國在台協會處長酈英傑於「台灣資安大會」致詞時指出。
2021年5月4日酈英傑處長出席台灣最大資安展Cybersec 2021,表達對資安產業的重視。除此之外,AIT還舉辦AIT Day,邀請4家美商展現他們最新的資安技術以支持美台雙方的資安目標。參與美商為Cisco, Fire Eye, Palo Alto 以及 Splunk。資安無法只靠政府干預、這種單打獨鬥的作法來完成。這個活動是最好的機會,重申公私部門共同合作的重要性。

“Indeed the unrelenting cyberattacks on public and private sector targets threatens not only economic growth but also national security. As our economies undergo even more digital transformation, the importance of keeping these 5G enabled, IoT devices secure is of paramount importance.” -- Remarks by AIT Director W. Brent Christensen at CyberSec Trade Show on May 4, 2021.
The Cybersec is the largest cybersecurity trade show in Taiwan, AIT also organized an “AIT Day Cybersecurity Seminar” at CyberSec Trade Show, featuring four U.S. companies delivering technology to support our shared cybersecurity goals. The participating U.S. companies were Cisco, Fire Eye, Palo Alto and Splunk. Cybersecurity cannot be accomplished through government intervention alone, and the event is the perfect opportunity to reiterate the importance of cooperation between the public and private sectors.

WELCOMING FEMALE LEADERSHIP :
IT’S NOW OR NEVER
In celebration of Women’s Month, the theme for 2021 is #ChooseToChallenge, where we are given the choice to empower, support and encourage both men and women to challenge gender discrimination to achieve equality. Gender equality is after all a mission for both men and women. Women in Malaysia are starting to change equality for themselves and their futures. Many countries around the world have also started to place heavy importance on gender equality, and Malaysia is one of them. Societies are finally realising the importance of taking a stand to demand equality for Malaysian women.
Malaysia is a country that has accomplished outstanding economic success, becoming the 6th largest economy in Southeast Asia and 39th largest in the world. However, the country’s women leaders are still considered underrepresented because only a small number of women take leadership positions in almost every corner of the board. Gender inequality poses significant challenges to women in Malaysia because it takes away opportunities from deserving talented women. Given that Malaysia has vast natural resources and human capital have been the driving engine of its economic development, gender inequality is still a serious hurdle Malaysia needs to overcome in order for a positive growth for the nation in the economic and political/leadership spheres. To address this gender discrimination in employment, members of society need to break away from gender biases. The perception that men are naturally fit for public places and women for private areas makes women seem only suitable to “assist” men in the work place. This practice has to be put to stop.
First and foremost, the idea of women representation has to be understood and acknowledged by everyone. It is very important to address this pressing problem because women make up 48.6% of the entire population and we need more of them to become leaders to ensure that the voices of Malaysian women are heard. Who would understand us better if it is not from our own kind?
For example, with only 33 female representation from both the government and opposition (out of 222 seats) in the Malaysia’s House of Parliament, the inclusion and participation of more women representative is actually very important for us to come up with excellent policies and laws that will tackle gender discrimination, crimes against women and the implementation of women-friendly policies to safeguard women’s issue and rights.
What can female leaders do to empower and inspire future female leaders? Actively engage potential leaders by identifying and investing in women with skills and capacity to lead and give them the confidence to do so. It is crucial in any sort of leadership practice to build confidence at home, in the educational institution and even at their workplace. By creating this “safe space”, we will be able to see more young women coming to the front without hesitation and with full confidence. When the younger generation of ladies/women sees the boldness of a leading women, it will give them the sense of hope and inspiration to embrace their potential and be committed to move forward as a leader. Female leaders should utilize these qualities such as perseverance, empathy and passion.
Rome was not built in a day. Likewise, the hope of hitting and having 30% of women parliamentarians is not going to be immediate. Providing platforms and opportunities are important but it is more important to create awareness and exposure as to why we should embrace and welcome female leadership into the picture. It is not only the young girls and women that should be educated but this has to reach their family members, acquaintances and their community in order for them to help these potential future leaders to nurture and grow to be a productive, compassionate and empathetic leaders in future. A new season is approaching and one can look with optimism on the impact it will have on women’s empowerment and leadership in Malaysia. Be brave, be bold and shatter that glass ceiling because our time is now or never.
