JAKARTA - The cyber security landscape in Indonesia has experienced a significant increase in both the complexity and volume of threats in recent years.
According to the latest data from Kaspersky, 14,909,665 web-based attacks and 39,718,903 threats on devices were detected and blocked last year in Indonesia.
This ever-evolving threat landscape has also had a direct impact on organizations, ranging from operational disruptions, data breaches to financial losses and reputational damage.
With this situation, Kaspersky revealed that organizational systems need a shift from a reactive security approach to a proactive intelligence-based strategy such as building a Security Operations Center (SOC).
SOC is a special organizational unit responsible for the continuous monitoring and securing of the company's IT infrastructure. Its core mission is to proactively detect, analyze, and respond to cyber security threats.
According to the latest research by Kaspersky, more than half (58%) of IT leaders and decision makers in Indonesia believe that building a SOC can improve their cybersecurity level.
In addition, 65% of companies in the country admit that they are likely to plan to improve SOC with AI, with 53% noting that increased effectiveness of threat detection is the main reason for improving SOC with AI.
However, building a SOC has its own challenges. Kaspersky's study shows that some of these challenges include a 47% lack of high-quality training data, a 37% lack of qualified AI specialists in internal teams, and a 29% lack of suitable solutions on the market.
To answer these challenges, Kaspersky recommends the following for companies looking to start building their SOCs:
Require regular employee training focused on ICS, SCADA, and OTL cyber security Conduct periodic OT system security assessments to identify and eliminate potential cyber security issues Consult with experts to help build a robust SOC and simplify the process Protect your company from a variety of cyber security solutions from trusted partners"Integrated SOC, supported by SIEM and real-time threat intelligence, is essential to enable early threat detection, rapid incident response, and maintaining a sustainable business defense," said Defi Nofitra, Country Manager for Indonesia at Kaspersky.
