In today's
digital era, cybersecurity has become one of the most important issues in the
world because of its very serious impact. Losses are estimated at US$20 billion
annually by 2021, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. In fact, it is predicted
that losses will swell up by 13 times to reach $265 billion in 10 years. For
this reason, a real and systematic effort to build a strong cybersecurity
foundation in order to create a safe, trustworthy and intelligent ecosystem to
keep people connected in a smart digital world.
In order to improve digital security literacy, build
collaboration between the quad-helix ecosystem which includes states, business
actors, academics and communities, as well as campaigning for cyber security
standards, the CyberHub Fest 2022 event was held. For the second year in a row,
global ICT company Huawei is committed to providing support for this event
initiated by the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) and the Indonesian
Cloud Computing Association (ACCI). Present as among the speakers at the 2-week
webinar were Dono Indarto, Deputy for Cyber and Encryption Strategy and
Policy - BSSN, Brigadier General Dominggus Pakel, Head of Data and ICT Center –
BSSN, Syarbeni, Cyber Security & Privacy Protection Officer Huawei Indonesia,
and Alex Budianto, Chairman of ACCI.
Syarbeni, Cyber Security & Privacy Protection
Officer, Huawei Indonesia, said, "Cyber security challenge is complex
and evolving. It demands close collaboration and intensive share of information
from all parts of the ecosystem. Although cybersecurity awareness has improved,
we see lack of a well-coordinated standardized approach, especially regarding
governance, technical capabilities, certification and collaboration. Therefore,
we need to strengthen coalitions, set common goals, share roles and
responsibilities and work together to build a trusted digital environment to
address the challenges in the present and future."
“Trust is the foundation for a healthy digital
environment. Therefore, both belief and disbelief must be based on facts, not
feelings, not speculation, and not opinions. For that, facts should be verified
and verification should be based on standards,” said Syarbeni.
Highlighting the importance of shared standards,
Dono Indarto, Deputy for Cyber and Encyrption Strategy and Policy at BSSN
said that security standards must refer to best practices that apply in the
industry and are internationally recognized.
“Learning and reviewing the application of global
security standards is part of BSSN's task in building a strong fortress of
cyber resilience. Huawei's support for CyberHub Fest 2022, which also
collaborates with national industry associations and players, is very important
and useful for learning events in order to learn about various cybersecurity
standards and frameworks so that they can be implemented immediately in the
country," said Dono Indarto.
Meanwhile, Brigadier General Dominggus Pakel, Head
of Data and ICT Center - BSSN said, "Strengthening cloud security standards
is very urgent and important to do in order to strengthen cyber security and
data privacy protection. Of course we need to learn from the experiences of
various parties to find more effective and efficient standards and frameworks
in cybersecurity operations. Therefore, the CyberHub Fest 2022 supported by
Huawei is an important initiative and we certainly hope that cybersecurity
levels can continue to be improved in the future."
“The increasing use of cloud computing technology
must be accompanied by a higher awareness of cybersecurity, as well as
knowledge of best practices to maintain cybersecurity at the organizational and
individual levels. The support of Huawei and BSSN in the CyberHub Fest 2022
event signifies an increasingly close collaboration between stakeholders,
including the government, associations, and industry players," concluded
Alex Budiyanto, Chairman of ACCI.
