Three important factors are critical to maintaining cybersecurity

Jakarta (MidLand) – Director of Cyber ​​\u200b\u200bIntelligence at PT Spentera Royke Tobing said that there are three important factors to maintain the cybersecurity resilience of an optimal system amid the increase in cybercrime cases in recent years.

“There are three most important factors: people, processes and technology,” Royke said in a discussion in Jakarta on Thursday.

Of these three important factors, according to Royke, the human aspect is the most decisive compared to other aspects. Every person, whether it is individual or group cyber security, can be the first gap if they do not have good knowledge regarding the use of technology or ways of cyber crime.

“Even in developed countries like the United States, which already have good processes and technologies, cybercrime continues to occur. Why? Because there are gaps in the factors people-his. I was told not to open it and that was it attachment from e-mailbut it was still open and it turned out he was inside malware and various other attacks,” Royke said.

Raising each individual’s cybersecurity awareness can help maintain a system’s cybersecurity resilience.

After preparing the human factor as the fundamental basis for ensuring cybersecurity resilience, the next factor to consider is the process, which is also crucial because it is the determining factor that determines the role of each person in maintaining cybersecurity.

When subjected to process factors, a company prepares plans to ensure that its cybersecurity system is reliable and mitigates if vulnerabilities are found in the system.

One step that can be taken when undergoing this factor is to do penetration testing (resistance test) on the IT security system used.

In the Indonesian banking industry, penetration testing is one of the process factors to consider. The provisions to ensure a secure system by banking companies are strengthened by the presence of guidelines in the form of Circular Letter (SE) number 29/SEOJK.03/2022 from the Financial Services Authority on cyber resilience and security for commercial banks.

Finally, in maintaining the resilience of a system in terms of cybersecurity, particular attention to technological factors is necessary. Make sure the technology used in a system is the latest version, for example on devices such as laptops or personal computer (PC).

Using the latest versions of the technology is no less important as developers continually update their products to address vulnerabilities, which may increase as users grow.

“(The three factors) all have to be thought about sequentially. Don’t reverse the situation, buy the equipment first and then think about the process and the people. If it’s not done sequentially, then it’s going to be a problem,” Royke said.
