JAKARTA - TNI Headquarters launched a cyber security incident response team, the TNI Military Computer Security Incident Response Team (Mil-CSIRT) to anticipate cyber security threats.

The team was launched by the TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa together with the Head of the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) Lt. Gen. TNI (Ret.) Hinsa Siburian and the Commander of the Indonesian Armed Forces Cyber Security Brigadier General (Mar) Suaf Yanu Hardani, at TNI Headquarters Cilangkap, East Jakarta, Wednesday 9 Last February quoted from Antara. The TNI Commander in a press release explained that the Military Computer Security Incident Response Team program was very good. The problem is that the TNI has many limitations, including human resources (HR). Andika hopes that BSSN can guide the TNI by sending a team to always provide assistance, because BSSN has international links and always gets updates on cyber developments which are indeed very fast. 'cyber warfare' has been fought first, but the main weaponry system (hardware) is still not involved," said the former Army Chief of Staff (KSAD).
