This personally gives us a wider and clear view about Malaysia's process to move to IR4.0. After that, she gave a brief explanation regarding Malaysia Readiness for IR4.0, the plan and strategies and also the issues and challenges to transform the whole nation into a brighter future. This section was meant to show how much was the current world and Malaysia’s progress and how we as the younger generation can contribute and improvise what we have nowadays. Other than that, Ms Sarah also shared her experience as Strategic and Project Manager under Digital Forensics Department Cybersecurity Malaysia. Based on Ms.Sarah's experience, she also found out there will be a lot of potential new jobs that are related to IT, especially in the Cybersecurity Field. Some of them were IT security specialist, information security analyst, network security engineer and security engineer. The talk ended with some words of encouragement from Ms.Sarah. She mentioned that it is important for us especially as the students to explore and learn new things within our course. She also highlighted the importance of marketing ourselves to achieve our dream job. From the industrial talk, we have gained a lot of new information about the ongoing process and strategies of Malaysia towards Industrial Revolution 4.0. Things like cybersecurity, big data, autonomous robots and data systems can make our lives easier and more efficient. Firstly for example, implementation of cybersecurity is important because it protects all categories of data from theft and damage. This includes sensitive data, protected health information (PHI), personal information, intellectual property, governmental and industry information. Having advanced cyber defense programs and mechanisms in place to protect this data is crucial. Everyone in society relies on critical infrastructure such as hospitals and other healthcare institutions and financial service programs. We all rely on the safety of our data and personal information. For example, when logging into an application or when filling in more sensitive data in digital healthcare systems. If these systems, networks, and infrastructures don't have the right protection in place, our data might fall into the wrong hands.
