According to the report published by Software Technologies Inc. in 2018, Indonesia ranked 3rd after the United States of America and India as a country that is most vulnerable to attacks by hackers. The volume of cyber-attacks and frequent leaks has raised the topic of security to become an international conversation. A number of professors and digital observers continue to encourage the Indonesian government to develop regulations related to data protection in solving and overcoming digital security issues.
The report identifies the Indonesian financial and banking industry to be one of the most vulnerable regarding data breaches. The alleged misuse of consumer data in Indonesia by e-commerce businesses continues to be a topic of discussion that attracts public attention.
Companies have difficulties detecting and responding to digital attacks in an effective and efficient manner. Organisations need to focus their efforts to ensure they maximise their investment in this area, it is rarely the amount spent that counts, but rather the structured comprehensive solution they can build to address their individual cybersecurity requirements. Telstra explains these challenges in their latest research about Disruptive Decision Making (read more here). The document highlights how cyber attacks have become the primary focus of leaders in many global companies and how Security is a significant part of Telstra’s digital transformation initiative.
Constructing an adequate system of defence requires a holistic and comprehensive approach. The first step that needs to be taken by companies is to identify and prioritise all existing security risks. The next is to decide investment options that are in accordance with existing security and technical requirements. Not taking this into account can lead to significant expenditure on a sub-optimal solution, a common occurrence for even the largest of companies.
Security Intelligence is one of the leading Security solutions that have been adopted by many global companies to improve the security of their assets, as well as maximise the return on their Security related investments. The application focuses on insights and incidents based on existing evidence. The solution is able to provide mechanisms, indications, implications as well as recommendations that can be applied to overcome threats towards a company’s assets.
As a local technology company with a global capability, Telkomtelstra answers the need for cybersecurity with their Security Intelligence solution. The service has four key elements:
- The ability to guard a company’s assets safely,
- A comprehensive solution with effective management,
- Support from experts and,
- An integrated structure.
The first advantage of the solution offered by Telkomtelstra is the Security Operations Centre (SOC) with its broad range of security intelligence services. The SOC provides full visibility of potential attacks surrounding the network by capturing all information from various network security solutions operated by the company. Furthermore, the platform also analyses on-going cyber-attacks and provides automated warnings of any security incidents.
Answering the Challenge of limited Human Resources in the Field of Cyber Security
Apart from technology, Telkomtelstra’s Security Intelligence solution also addresses the challenge of finding expertise in the field of cyber security. Since cyber intelligence consists of millions of indicators that need to be filtered and prioritised, every top-level cyber security intelligence service needs the appropriately qualified human element. Telkomtelstra can help you tackle this resource scarcity challenge with its managed end-to-end solution.
Research carried out by Telstra and The Economist Intelligence Unit in the “Connecting Commerce” forum has also identified the difficulty of finding human resources with the relevant skills to overcome the digital challenges within Indonesia’s borders. This research examines the scarcity of personnel with the capability to help companies in overcoming cyber-attacks.
With the existence of reliable human resources, companies get a qualified team to address their security issues at a fraction of the cost it would take to service these requirements in-house.
