JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital, Nezar Patria, emphasized the importance of understanding the basic principles of cyber security as one of the skills of life, in today's digital era.
According to him, human (human error) is still the biggest risk factor in the field of cyber security. Therefore, it is very important to instill cyber security literacy to all people.
"The basic principles of cyber security are important to know as a life skill because most cyber threats come from human error," Nezar said in his statement.
The Voice of the CISO 2024 report from Proofpoint also found that three out of four (74%) chief information security officers (CISO) said human error was their top cybersecurity risk.
Some of the main causes of data loss in the survey are directly related to employees. Where 42% come from insider / employee negligence, such as employees who misuse data.
Other reasons include malicious or criminal insiders (36%), employee credential theft (33%), and lost or stolen devices (28%).

The IBM Threat Index 2024 also supports this finding, where this finding shows that 30% of attacks start with phishing that targets less careful people.
Seeing the urgency, Wamen Nezar also invited young people who are interested in delving into the field of cyber security to continue to learn and develop skills.
"Expertise in the field of cyber security is very needed in the era of ongoing digital transformation which is quite dynamic," he explained.
