Global technology firm ZTE Corporation has joined forces with CelcomDigi Bhd (KL:CDB) to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into Malaysia's telecommunications infrastructure.

The healthcare sector in Malaysia is rapidly digitizing, driven by government initiatives, private sector investments, and the increasing demand for efficient patient care. With this transformation comes a growing reliance on third-party vendors for software, cloud storage, medical devices, and IT infrastructure. However, third-party relationships also introduce significant risks, including data breaches, regulatory non-compliance, and service disruptions. Healthcare IT leaders must have a robust Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) strategy to safeguard sensitive patient data and ensure seamless operations.

Picture Archiving and Communication Systems, or PACS, have revolutionized the way medical images are stored, retrieved, and shared in hospitals worldwide, including those in Malaysia. By digitizing imaging data, PACS eliminates the need for traditional film-based methods, leading to faster diagnoses, improved patient care, and enhanced collaboration among healthcare professionals.

In the world of healthcare, security isn't just about protecting data—it's about ensuring patient safety. While cybersecurity gets a lot of attention, physical access control is just as crucial, especially when dealing with life-saving medical devices like MRI machines, CT scanners, infusion pumps, and PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems). So, how do hospitals and clinics prevent unauthorized access to these devices? Let's break it down.

Malaysia & AI: Are We in the Game? When we think of AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), the big names come to mind—OpenAI's GPT, Google's Bard, and Meta's LLaMA. But here's a question: Where does Malaysia stand in the AI race? Are we just consumers, or are we actually building something of our own?
