KEAMANAN SIBER: RESPON STRATEGIS INDONESIA TERHADAP ANCAMAN DIGITAL

Abstract

In today’s increasingly complex digital era, cybersecurity has emerged as a strategic issue directly impacting sovereignty, public service delivery, and governmental legitimacy. This study aims to analyze how the Indonesian government responds to escalating digital threats, especially in the wake of major incidents such as the ransomware attack on the national data center. Using a qualitative approach based on document analysis and policy discourse review, this research explores institutional readiness, regulatory frameworks, technical capacity, and inter-agency coordination in shaping national cyber defense. The findings indicate that although progress has been made such as the establishment of the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), development of key regulations, and efforts in international cooperation the state’s response remains fragmented and largely reactive. A lack of data backups, limited qualified technical personnel, and overlapping institutional authority pose major challenges. The study concludes that strengthening national cybersecurity requires more integrated policy synergy, institutional reform, and leadership focused on prevention and preparedness.
