Time to Set Up Security Team

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Cyber attacks in Indonesia will keep increasing; the growing number of Internet users will be the target of these attacks; hacking skills will also grow. Thus, vital objects and corporations need to setup cyber security teams.

Bina Nusantara University Head of Cyber Security Program Aditya Kurniawan, on Tuesday (6/6) in Jakarta, warned the public of the increasing quantity and quality of future cyber attacks, and that the management of vital objects and corporations needed to setup cyber security in their information technology divisions.

Aditya predicted that the future threat would still be economically motivated. Hacking in Indonesia would increase because hackers want money. Hacking fueled by such a motivation will only increase, because hacking techniques are easy to learn and many people are willing to learn these techniques.
