Sapura Showcases AI-Powered Technologies as Complement to Cyber Defense

At the Defence Services Asia (DSA) 2026 exhibition, the Sapura Group has powerfully demonstrated its commitment to bolstering Malaysia's national security through cutting-edge technological innovation. Our presentation highlights not just advanced systems, but a strategic vision for a secure and sovereign Malaysia, particularly in the critical domains of cybersecurity and communication.

GIRN 2.0 enables the government to effectively manage national disasters and Civil Protection and Disaster Management (PPDR) operations through the unification of all response agencies into one secure system that provides real-time situational awareness from the field to the command center at the Federal level.

We are proud to showcase Velum Labs' latest program, V-Attack, which integrates sovereign AI capabilities into active cyber operations. This represents a significant leap forward in our ability to detect, track, and neutralize digital threats. Furthermore, our newly unveiled Government Integrated Radio Network (GIRN2.0) system, powered by 5G and AI, is designed to meet Malaysia's specific needs for secure, network-centric communication. This system is crucial for enhancing our national resilience, enabling effective management of national disasters and civil defense operations by unifying response agencies onto a single, secure platform.

The digital threats we face today evolve almost every week. Through Velum Labs, Sapura has the capability to identify, track, and map these threats into our technology and solutions.

From our perspective at Sapura, the escalating complexity of digital threats requires continuous investment in local technological development. We recognize that AI is not merely an enhancement but a transformative force in the cyber landscape. Our strategic investments in AI capabilities, aligned with our broader defense and communication ecosystem, underscore our dedication to strengthening Malaysia's readiness. This commitment extends to ensuring that our technological solutions are not only effective but also sovereign, safeguarding our national interests in an increasingly interconnected world.

“

Sapura recognizes from the outset that AI technology can fundamentally transform the cyber operational landscape, hence, we have invested in developing this capability in line with our broader strategic defense and communication ecosystem.

Our participation in DSA 2026 reaffirms Sapura's role as a key player in the regional defense technology market. We are dedicated to building a safer Malaysia by developing indigenous technologies that fortify our national defenses against sophisticated cyber threats, including digital warfare. This focus on local innovation and strategic partnerships ensures that Malaysia remains at the forefront of cybersecurity and critical communication infrastructure, protecting our nation and its people.
