Cyber-attacks represent a substantial threat that cannot be underestimated. To put it into perspective, according to Interpol data, Indonesia endured 1.3 million cyber-attacks throughout 2021. These attacks are not limited to individuals; companies find themselves in the crosshairs as well. Cyber-attacks inflict significant financial losses, with businesses experiencing average losses exceeding US$178,000 or approximately IDR 2.7 billion.
Hence, it is imperative for businesses to implement robust data protection measures to mitigate the impact of cyber threats and avert data breaches. This encompasses ensuring that systems and applications handling sensitive data are backed up, adhere to stringent security protocols, and undergo regular security audits.
So, what are the viable solutions for implementing data protection effectively and securely? Discover the answers in the following sections.
Challenges of Data Protection in the Digital Era of Indonesia
One of the most significant cyber-attack incidents in recent times targeted one of Indonesia's largest sharia banks, precisely on May 8, 2023. The attack was executed by a hacker group known as LockBit.
LockBit demanded negotiations with the Islamic bank after claiming to have absconded with 1.5 TB of customer data. Their offer was clear: they would return the purloined data if the bank remitted a ransom of IDR 295.6 billion by May 15, 2023, at 21:09:46 UTC.
In response to this incident, the Cyber Security Division of CISSReC characterized the cyber-attack on the sharia bank as an alarming example of weak cybersecurity in Indonesia. They emphasized that Indonesia had not conducted a comprehensive evaluation of its cybersecurity infrastructure, despite the escalating frequency of cyber-attacks.
In parallel with this report, Andi Widjajanto, the Governor of Lemhanas Indonesia, highlighted that while the global average cyber defense index stands at 6.19, Indonesia's cyber defense index languishes at 3.46.
This case underscores the utmost importance of implementing robust data protection measures. Enhanced data security not only fortifies a company's defenses against the surging tide of cyber threats but also fosters customer trust and business success. It is an essential pillar in the continuous quest to bolster cybersecurity resilience.
Imperative of a Layered Data Protection Approach to Thwart Cyber Attacks
In recent times, the government has enacted Law Number 27 of 2022, specifically the Personal Data Protection (UU PDP), mandating that individuals, encompassing businesses and e-commerce entities, hold legal accountability for the processing of the personal data under their purview. Compliance with the stipulations delineated in the PDP Law is compulsory.
However, it is paramount to recognize that while the PDP Law furnishes robust regulations governing data protection, it does not inherently guarantee the implementation of an effective security system to safeguard data. Consequently, businesses must employ solutions and technology to ensure comprehensive data security.
