KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 (Bernama) -- Cybersecurity is among the priorities in the development of the official 2027 SEA Games portal to ensure that the website is not vulnerable to hacking threats.
Youth and Sports Minister Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari said the development of the portal must comply with established security standards to protect it against cyber threats during the Games and ensure that it is safe to access.
“In terms of cybersecurity, we want to ensure that the website we are developing complies with the established standards and is resilient against cyber warfare and other threats.
“Although this is not as easy as it may sound, we want to ensure that the website is secure and not easily hacked. These are among the aspects and factors we are looking at in developing the website,” he told a press conference at the launch of the official 2027 SEA Games portal here today.
The official website of the Games, www.seagamesmalaysia2027.org, was launched earlier today as the main digital platform to strengthen the dissemination of information on the hosting of the 34th SEA Games and 14th ASEAN Para Games in Malaysia next year.
Elaborating, he said the website was also equipped with real-time updates, enabling competition results and medal tallies to be displayed as soon as events concluded.
“We want to provide real-time updates. Whenever a sporting event concludes, the results and medal tally will be updated immediately.
“We also want to ensure that the website is user-friendly, media-friendly and easily accessible to everyone. Most importantly, there must not be any delays or unwanted problems,” he said.
Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Mordi Bimol was also present at the launch.
The 2027 SEA Games will be held from Sept 18 to 29, while the 2027 ASEAN Para Games will take place from Oct 17 to 23.
