JAKARTA - The rapid technological development is currently followed by the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks originating from around the world, including Indonesia which is also the target of the threat.

Seeing this condition, Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly Fadel Muhammad, who was present at the ITSEC Cybersecurity Summit 2024 event on Wednesday, August 21, committed to supporting collaboration between various parties to find solutions to the problem.

"We support various collaborative efforts between the government, cybersecurity experts and other stakeholders to formulate effective solutions related to cybersecurity challenges, and also encourage various policies to strengthen cybersecurity in Indonesia," explained Fadel.

Furthermore, Inspector General. Pol. Andry Wibowo, as the Expert Staff of Ideology and the Constitution of the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, also said that the government will continue to make various efforts to support the creation of better digital security in the vital information infrastructure agency in Indonesia.

"The government is committed to providing the resources and regulatory support needed to facilitate widespread adoption of strong cybersecurity measures, as well as sustainable collaboration and information sharing to strengthen cybersecurity posture in Indonesia," said Andry.

According to him, the preparation of the Personal Data Protection Law or the PDP Law is a concrete step for the government in protecting personal assets and data against cybercrime threats that are increasingly occurring.

However, all the regulations and cooperation must also be equipped with qualified human resources (HR), in order to support the digital transformation in a safe Indonesia.

"Through the Cybersecurity Summit 2024 event, ITSEC Asia seeks to provide awareness, services and assistance to build a secure digital ecosystem in the future," said Patrick Danacher, President Commissioner of PT ITSEC Asia Tbk.
