The Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI) plays a critical role in driving Malaysia’s innovation, digital economy, and technological advancement.
As a key government body, MOSTI requires a secure, scalable, and future-ready IT environment to support national initiatives and public sector operations.
Problem
MOSTI faced increasing challenges in managing a complex and aging IT environment:
- Thousands of endpoints with no centralised visibility or control
- Inefficient patching, scanning, and manual processes consuming IT resources
- Existing antivirus unable to detect advanced and emerging threats
- High risk of ransomware attacks impacting operations and public trust
- Legacy infrastructure with limited performance, scalability, and high maintenance overhead
- Multiple virtualisation platforms creating operational complexity and rising costs
These challenges exposed the organisation to security risks, inefficiencies, and limited scalability.
