Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Spokesperson for the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) Ariandi Putra said that digital transformation and digitization are increasingly closely linked to people’s lives. Based on the mandate of Indonesian President Jokowi Widodo, there are three things that are inseparable from digital transformation, namely access, literacy and a safe digital environment in Indonesia.
Unfortunately, until now digital access and equality in Indonesia is still not evenly distributed. There is a gap between the island of Java and other parts of Indonesia and requires a comprehensive solution.
Ariandi said that apart from gaps, digital literacy must also be improved because it is closely related to security. The reason is, behind the incessant digital transformation, there are cyber attacks or crimes that threaten.
“The target is data. Data is the most important center of attention to disseminate. (Data) becomes “The commodity now, from initially being an experiment and wanting to show the recognition and existence of several groups, has now become an economic motive,” said Ariandi at the Cyber Security Forum, Thursday (2/11/2023).
He added that the resources usually targeted come from applications, networks and servers database. BSSN noted that there are several forms of attacks that often occur, such as: malware attacks.
Apart from that, cyber attacks are not only technical, but also social. Ariandi said that BSSN highlighted social cyber attacks related to next year’s election political parties.
“Some are related to collecting information circulating in society, so that it can target each person, in order to change or carry out brainwashing. The aim is to create chaos in society. There are several things we see such as black propaganda, point and stick, and also take information,” he explained.
He emphasized that BSSN also carries out patrols and invests in cyber attacks of a technical and social nature, one of which is through National Operational Center.
BSSN identifies cyber attacks, one of which is through IP Security Assessmentt. This is done routinely, especially to ministries/institutions, especially the KPU. This is done so that the election can run peacefully.
“But the IP Security Assessment was never completed, why? Let’s put it that way repair a leaky house, where the leak can come from anywhere. “We do that regularly,” he said.
