VCIG to Launch Military-Grade Cybersecurity Vault at ASEAN AI Summit — A Quantum-Resistant Cloud Solution for Ransomware Defense and Encrypted Data Sovereignty

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”), a cross-sector platform builder integrating deep technology with financial architecture to enable sovereign-ready digital ecosystems, today announced plans to officially unveil its CyberSecure Vault during the upcoming ASEAN AI Summit. This cloud-based cybersecurity solution is engineered to combat ransomware, nation-grade cyber threats, and quantum-era decryption challenges.

Designed with future threats in mind, the CyberSecure Vault combines military-grade encryption, EAL4-certified hardware, and a dual-layer closed network system to ensure that critical business and institutional data remains secure, even if endpoint devices are compromised. The platform automatically backs up operating systems and core files, enabling instant recovery without compromising data integrity.

Key Features of CyberSecure Vault:

• Quantum-Resistant Framework
  
  Engineered to withstand brute-force and quantum-enabled decryption, ensuring long-term data protection.

• EAL4-Certified Hardware
  
  Powered by Secure Encryption Systems (SES) chipsets—trusted for mission-critical deployments across Asia.

• Dual-Layer Defense Architecture
  • Local Encryption Gateway: Creates a private, tamper-proof network.
  • Immutable Cloud Vault: Prevents raw data exposure and blocks remote theft.
• Automated OS & Data Backup
  
  Enables rapid recovery after ransomware attacks or system failures, with no compromise to data integrity.

• Scalable Storage Options
  
  Flexible storage tiers from 3TB to 50TB, optimized for SMEs, enterprises, and government agencies.

According to Fortune Business Insights, the global cybersecurity market is expected to reach US$562.8 billion by 2032, driven by rapid digital transformation, rising ransomware threats, and cross-border data security needs. VCIG’s CyberSecure Vault, deployed under its CyberSecure brand and operated by V Gallant, addresses these challenges with a military-grade, future-proof solution, marking a key milestone in the Company’s mission to deliver sovereign-grade digital infrastructure across Southeast Asia.

In addition, the Vault will serve as a foundational security layer for the QuantGold Data Platform, enabling encrypted AI computation and secure data monetization without exposing raw datasets, laying the groundwork for zero-trust, sovereign-ready AI applications.

“Cyberattacks today are faster, stealthier, and more devastating than ever. With CyberSecure Vault, we’ve built a digital fortress designed to protect organizations of any size, from SMEs to sovereign agencies, against threats both current and future, including quantum computing,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global.
