“Only 2% of organisations have implemented cyber resilience across their organisation, despite cyber risks being a top business concern.”

— PwC Global Digital Trust Insights 2025

OVERVIEW

Cyber-crime and cyber-fraud continue to evolve in scale, complexity and sophistication, exposing organisations to significant financial losses, reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny and operational disruption. As cyber incidents become increasingly interconnected with fraud, misconduct and digital evidence management challenges, organisations require investigators who are equipped not only to identify and investigate incidents, but also to effectively manage investigations in accordance with legal, regulatory and forensic standards.

The Cyber Fraud Investigation Management for Lead Investigators workshop is a practical and intensive 2-day program designed to strengthen the capabilities of Audit, Risk, Compliance, Security and Investigation professionals responsible for leading cyber-crime and cyber-fraud investigations. Participants will gain practical knowledge of Malaysian cyber-crime legislation, digital evidence requirements, investigation methodologies, digital forensics, open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools and reporting practices.

Through real-world insights, best practice frameworks and proven investigation approaches, the program equips Lead Investigators to confidently manage cyber incidents, preserve evidential integrity, coordinate multidisciplinary investigation teams and improve the successful resolution of cyber-fraud cases.
