KUALA LUMPUR (May 25): Sapura Group’s cyber security arm, Velum Labs Sdn Bhd, has launched V-Dark, a cyber intelligence solution to position Malaysia as a global hub for world-class cyber technologies.
In a statement on Wednesday (May 24), Sapura said the launch was officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2023 (Lima'23).
It said V-Dark, which is designed to counter cyber threats posed by advanced persistent threats groups, organised financial crime syndicates and other adversarial targeting enterprises, can be used by critical players in industries such as commercial banking, defence, insurance, aviation, energy and telecommunications in strengthening their cyber resilience.

“At Velum Labs, we are engaging with worldwide engineering firms utilising top technology to enable strategic two-way knowledge transfer in building the necessary know-how and skill set in cyber-attack methodologies.
“In doing so, we are able to facilitate home-grown R&D and develop next-generation cyber intelligence and cyber security solutions not only for Malaysia, but for other sovereign nations,” said Shahril.
