Cyber Attacks Are on the Rise in Indonesia: What's Being Done?

Hybrid warfare is no longer just a thing in movies; it's real and happening in Indonesia. This type of conflict uses different tools like cyber attacks, military power, politics, and information manipulation to create chaos. The Cyber Defense Center, known as Pushansiber, is on the front lines of this battle. They're tasked with defending Indonesia's digital borders, ensuring cybersecurity, and coordinating with other agencies. This year, cyber attacks have spiked, with phishing, malware, ransomware, and spam leading the pack. These attacks are part of hybrid warfare, making defense efforts even more complex. To tackle this, digital literacy and awareness about cybersecurity are crucial. Training, simulations, and certifications are key to boosting these skills. Countries that have invested in specialized cybersecurity teams and advanced tech have shown us that it's possible to fight back. In Indonesia, the BSSN and Ministry of Defense are joining forces to strengthen cyber defenses. Their goal? To protect infrastructure, safeguard sensitive data, and minimize disruptions caused by cyber threats.
