During the event, H.E. Liv Sophanarith stated that cybersecurity is a critical and pressing topic that requires serious attention from relevant stakeholders, both in Cambodia and across the ASEAN region, as well as globally. He emphasized that embracing digital transformation from relevant stakeholders is essential, but it must be done with great awareness of its impacts and other threats to digital systems. In this regard, the seminar on “Navigating the Future of Cybersecurity in Cambodia 2025” plays a vital role in promoting Cyber Readiness through awareness, protection, prevention, and response to cyberattacks. Furthermore, he emphasized that cyber threats can take many forms to target digital security systems by using advanced technologies. Among these threats, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) represents a new context that poses challenges not only to countries in the region but also to the global community.
