Indonesia to Establish Cyber Agency Against Cyber Warfare Threats

medcom.id, Jakarta: The government is establishing the National Cyber Agency against any possible cyber warfare threats.
 
The idea was conveyed by the Coordinating Minister of Politics, Law and Human Rights Tedjo Edhy Purdjianto during the National Cyber Security Symposium. Tedjo explained that Indonesia possesses several cyber agencies in various institutions, but the presence is not integrated as not one agency has the coordinating function.
 
"It is how the cyber agencies might be coordinated or developed nationally in creating a unity of command to preserve national resilience agains any cyber attacks in the form of National Cyber Agency," Tedjo said at Borobudur Hotel, Lapangan Banteng, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (6/3/2015).

Tedjo deliberated that the agency will be aligned with other agencies under the President. "Well, like other agencies such as the Maritime Security Agency, National Counter-Terrorism Agency and others. The coordinating line is directly under the President," he stated.
 
Tedjo also gave an example that the Cyber Agency is to be in charge of handling special matters in information security sector. "As when it attacks banks, for example, this may clean up somebody's account. If aviation is disrupted, it will disrupt out navigational system," he deliberated.
 
Tedjo also affirmed that President Jokowi fully supports the establishment of National Cyber Agency. "While he was in Blitar, Mr. Jokowi had asked about the Presidential Decree for the National Cyber Agency. So, he placed his attention on these cyber threats," closed Tedjo.
 
As quoted from the  www.lemhanas.go.id, Cyber Warfare (Cyberwar), is a warfare through computer and Internet networks or the cyber space in form of defense strategy or attacks on opponent's informatics system. (EPS)
