In a digital landscape filled with evolving threats and vulnerabilities, Malaysia has taken proactive measures to strengthen its Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) sectors through the implementation of the National Cryptography Policy (NCP) initiatives. Central to this strategy is the establishment of PKTN, Produk Kriptografi Terpercaya Negara (National Trusted Cryptographic Product), a crucial component aimed at enhancing the utilisation of trusted cryptographic products within the nation.

Within the scope of PKTN, rigorous criteria have been devised to determine the security, reliability, and appropriateness of cryptographic products intended for employment across CNII sectors. To facilitate this evaluation process, the Pembangunan dan Pelaksanaan Skim Penilaian dan Pensijilan Produk Kriptografi Terpercaya Negara (SPPPKTN) Working Committee has been tasked with examining product adherence to PKTN Criteria. Subsequently, their findings are presented to the SPPPKTN Steering Committee, which holds the authority to grant the esteemed PKTN status to eligible security products.

This initiative operates within a framework encompassing five distinct product classifications, delineated as Public, Restricted, Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret. Each classification corresponds to varying degrees of sensitivity, ensuring that cryptographic products are appropriately tailored to the specific security requirements of the CNII sectors they serve.

By instituting PKTN, Malaysia underscores its commitment to fostering a robust cybersecurity ecosystem, bolstering national resilience against cyber threats, and safeguarding the integrity of its critical information infrastructure. As digital transformation continues to redefine the modern landscape, initiatives such as PKTN stand as indispensable pillars in safeguarding Malaysia's digital future.
