Securing the Front Line: MARF ’26 Sets the Benchmark for Mobile Security in Malaysia



KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia— With mobile applications fast becoming the primary digital touchpoint for businesses and consumers alike, securing mobile software ecosystems has transitioned from a technical necessity to a core business imperative. Addressing this growing imperative, CyberSecurity Malaysia, in collaboration with industry partners, will host the Mobile Application Resilience Forum 2026 (MARF ’26)
on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, at the Amari Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

The high-level executive forum aims to help Malaysian organizations protect customer trust and navigate national security standards.



Navigating National Standards: The MAC Scheme



A major highlight of MARF ’26 is the Mobile Application Certification (MAC) Scheme—Malaysia’s official benchmark for application security, trust, and regulatory compliance. As mobile threats become more sophisticated, a single vulnerability can disrupt business operations, expose confidential customer data, and inflict lasting brand damage. The forum will provide direct clarity on what MAC compliance entails and how enterprise leaders can seamlessly integrate these standards into their existing application development roadmaps.



Key Agenda Highlights



  • MAC Compliance Framework: Step-by-step guidance on achieving national mobile security certification.
  • Regulatory Landscapes: Key insights into national cyber compliance, risk management, and regulatory priorities.
  • AI & Emerging Threats: Strategies to identify and mitigate AI-driven security risks in mobile application environments.
  • Executive Networking: Dedicated sessions for cross-industry risk leaders to discuss resilience strategies.


Participation & Registration



Specifically tailored for Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), Application Owners, and Tech Risk Leaders, attendance at MARF ’26 is strictly limited to ensure an interactive executive environment.
