The National ICT Security Discourse (NICTSED) is Malaysia’s pioneering national-level cybersecurity discourse programme for schools. Organised by CyberSecurity Malaysia in collaboration with the Ministry of Education Malaysia, NICTSED has served as a key platform since 2013 in empowering students and educators with knowledge on digital safety and technology.

NICTSED is designed to cultivate critical, analytical, and forward-thinking mindsets among participants. Through structured discourse, students are encouraged to explore global and local issues surrounding the internet and emerging technologies, identify potential risks and challenges, and propose meaningful solutions. The programme also promotes responsible digital behaviour, nurturing a generation of informed, ethical, and resilient digital citizens.

Over the years, NICTSED has grown into a highly anticipated initiative within the school community, engaging participants through dynamic and interactive sessions that continue to inspire awareness, dialogue, and action in cybersecurity.
