With the opening of the new Regional Cyber Center, Leonardo strengthens its positioning as a technology leader in global security. The inauguration took place today in the presence of the Malaysian Minister of Communications, Yang Berhormat Datuk Fahami Fadzil, highlighting the company’s commitment to international global security and proactive response to increasingly complex and rapidly evolving cyber threats.

The strategic choice of Malaysia reflects its prominent position in the cybersecurity landscape. The country excels in its region due to its advanced legislation on the subject and for the protection of national critical infrastructures. Leveraging the integration of Leonardo’s proprietary cybersecurity, physical security, and mission-critical communications technologies and the experience gained in strategic sectors both in Italy and abroad, the new Center will provide a substantial contribution to global protection from new hybrid threats, reinforcement of digital autonomy and support for Malaysia’s and the entire region’s sustainable development.
The new Kuala Lumpur center is part of the Global CyberSec Center (GCC), Leonardo’s trusted and mission-critical cybersecurity services provider headquartered in Chieti, and complements the operational Regional Cyber Centers of Brussels, Bristol, and Riyadh. The global GCC network is designed to ensure the cyber mission assurance of strategic clients, including Defense and national strategic organizations – fostering a common understanding of the threat and cutting-edge technologies. The federated model can guarantee both the capability to operate on a global scale in preventing, contrasting, and responding to new threats, and control of strategic data, fully respecting individual national sovereignties.

‘This initiative is a long-term investment reflecting Leonardo’s strong commitment to building a solid industrial and technological partnership with Malaysia, while contributing to the development of highly specialized local human capital. In a world where cyber self-reliance has become the new currency of stability, we enable national strategic organizations to ensure the security and continuity of their operations, leveraging our Global CyberSec platform. Through this investment in Malaysia, our goal is to support the transformation of critical infrastructures, such as the national cloud and national security operational centers, into autonomous strategic resources,’ stated Andrea Campora, Managing Director Cyber & Security Solutions Division of Leonardo.
The opening of the new regional Cyber Center in Malaysia marks a significant step in Leonardo’s long-term strategy to expand its international presence both in the country and across the region. This initiative, coupled with recent acquisitions in the Zero Trust architecture field, further strengthens Leonardo’s commanding role in ensuring global security and solidifies Malaysia as a crucial and strategic hub towards Southeast Asia and prospectively, the Far East.
Leonardo has had a solid presence in Malaysia for over forty years, significantly contributing to the defense and aerospace sectors. Over the decades, the company has supported the country with a complete portfolio of advanced solutions, including helicopters for military and commercial operations, military aircraft, integrated defense systems – including radar, naval and electronic warfare capabilities – as well as critical infrastructure security solutions and mission-critical communications.
