TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Data leaks that often occur in Indonesia cannot be fully eradicated, the chair of the Indonesian Telematics Software Association (Aspiluki), Djarot Subiantoro, said on Thursday, November 7, 2024. According to him, the Indonesian government must enhance security systems and law enforcement regulations related to data security.
"What the government can do is issue regulations so there are grounds for law enforcement,” said Djarot, adding that regulation on personal data protection can be a head start.
"There are regulations issued by agencies like the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and we have personal data protection as a start. But this is just the beginning, we need to see how the law is enforced,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Djarot said data theft is not exclusive to Indonesia, as the United States also faces similar problems. Thus, the Indonesian government must be creative in protecting various data, including those of ministries, companies, or Indonesian citizens.
Djarot suggested that ministries overseeing data should prepare backups to anticipate data leaks. "For us, the most crucial thing is to have data backups to prepare for any potential disasters," he added.
Djarot underscored the rapid progression of technological advancement where all businesses are digitalized, including the banking industry.
According to him, bank founders nowadays are shifting to digitalization for fund management, thereby necessitating optimal cybersecurity to protect customer data. "Cybersecurity firms are willing to guarantee compensation if a data breach harms the companies,” said Djarot.
Djarot said these firms employ white-hat hackers, or ethical hackers, to counterattack data breaches. “I believe this can be a sustainable solution,” he said.
