Insights from Indonesia’s Cybersecurity Leaders
“One of the biggest attacks that we have been facing is a DDoS attack. This is big, because we cannot do anything and our service is not accessible to citizens. So the immediate response that we have taken is to make a separate configuration so that the system can be accessed by citizens. But in the future, we have to look at how to build a secure and robust network or robust infrastructure to make sure that the DDoS attack can be mitigated.”
Yudhistira Nugraha, Director, Jakarta Smart City
43rd AIBP Conference & Exhibition Indonesia, Jakarta, 19 September 2023
“For detecting threats or attacks, we have some devices that use behavior analysis. In our organization, we haven’t implement AI or machine learning for mitigating the attack or preventing the attack. We plan to use it in near future because I think it's mandatory for us also to use that kind of technologies.”
Andri Purnomo, VP - IT Security, DANA Indonesia

“Hyperconnectivity is becoming a potential threat. Because we're using so many devices to access our servers, information in our office, and not all this device are protected. That is why once a device has been compromised, it affects other devices, and with this hybrid connectivity, it is now becoming a national security...We are managing alot of critical infrastructure as part of the financial service industries, and a lot of this critical infrastructure is connected to one another, which makes this challenge very big.”

-
Cybersecurity is crucial for digital transformation success as organisations become more vulnerable to cyber threats.
Investing in proactive cybersecurity measures is essential for protecting digital assets and infrastructure.

Can a minimum viable security product (MVSP), help with effective cybersecurity management? - Highlights from AIBP Philippines Advisory Board
-
On deciding which digital capabilities to manage centrally to drive efficiencies, it is important to measure scalability in reducing the cost to serve, while managing time resources spent.
On increased cybersecurity risks, a centrally guided cybersecurity roadmap is crucial for conglomerates, with businesses at varying degrees of digital maturity. The discussion highlighted the importance of the minimum viable security product (MVSP), which establishes a baseline security checklist for effective cybersecurity management in the evolving digital landscape.
On enabling a hybrid work model. The shortage of skilled digital workers in the Philippines means that organisations that wish to hire these resources have to offer a hybrid work environment as table stakes. However the availability of technologies such as 3D modelling has also made previously resource intensive work such as maintaining remote sites more efficient. Several companies have also started exploring how to use generative AI to plug the gap. Philippines, with the youngest median age of 25.7 amongst the ASEAN-5, seems to be an an inflection point when it comes to the evolution of work culture
On conglomerates, business consolidation and the value it provides. Mergers and acquisitions are key tools to utilize in extracting value and the Philippines has seen its fair share of consolidation, especially within the banking industry. Discussions centred around creating effective shared services and utilizing scale for technology adoption.
