Indonesia launches national cyber resilience drive
ITSEC Asia and the Indonesian Digitalization and Cybersecurity Association have launched a national programme that targets cyber resilience training for leaders and practitioners across Indonesia.
The initiative, called Gerakan Nasional Ketahanan Siber, sets out a six-month programme of practical training and simulations. ITSEC and ADIGSI said the programme expects to reach more than 1,000 participants from government institutions, state-owned enterprises and private-sector organisations.
The programme includes operational-level activity for cyber practitioners and management teams. It also includes a leadership component aimed at senior executives and board members.
ITSEC said the initiative links day-to-day operational readiness with executive decision-making. ADIGSI said it will work across sectors as part of Indonesia's national cyber resilience agenda.
"Cyber resilience today is no longer just a technology challenge, it is a leadership and governance issue," said Patrick Dannacher, President Director, ITSEC.
"Strengthening national cyber resilience requires strong cross-sector collaboration and leadership commitment," said Slamet Aji Pamungkas, Deputy IV of Indonesia's National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) and Chairman of ADIGSI's Supervisory Board.
ADIGSI described its role as linking national priorities with industry execution. ITSEC described the programme as a structured pathway across multiple levels inside organisations.
Training model
The initiative uses a two-tier structure. At the foundational level, it includes workshops, case-based discussions and simulation exercises. ITSEC said it will run offline and in hybrid formats.
The foundational level targets IT and security managers, risk and compliance teams and operational leaders. ITSEC also highlighted organisations with increasing digital exposure as a target group. Participants will be registered as part of the Gerakan Nasional Ketahanan Siber network.
At the leadership level, the programme introduces a Cyber Champion Leadership Programme. ITSEC said this component will run as invitation-only workshops and closed-door leadership roundtables. The organisers said it targets 50 to 100 senior leaders across sectors.
ITSEC said the leadership programme will culminate at the ITSEC Cybersecurity & AI Summit 2026, which the company described as the national consolidation point for the initiative. The organisers said the initiative will run in the months before the summit, which is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.
Sector coordination
The programme also sets out a goal of wider collaboration between industry, government and the digital community. ADIGSI positioned itself as an association that works with government on a strategic basis, including on cyber resilience themes.
"In its capacity as an industry association and the government's strategic partner, ADIGSI ensures the concrete translation of the national cyber resilience agenda within the industrial sector. Via the National Cyber Resilience Movement, ADIGSI and ITSEC jointly coordinate the enhancement of cybersecurity posture at both technical and leadership levels, thereby underpinning a resilient and sustainable digital ecosystem in Indonesia." added Firlie Ganinduto, Chairman of ADIGSI.
The planned participation mix includes operational cyber roles and senior decision-makers. That split reflects a wider trend in cyber risk management, where boards and executive committees carry accountability for governance, incident response decisions and risk acceptance.
Indonesia's economy has seen rapid digital adoption across financial services, telecommunications and public services. That shift has also increased exposure to ransomware, business email compromise and supply chain threats. The programme's structure reflects a focus on organisational readiness and leadership engagement, rather than a narrow technical curriculum.
Brand update
Alongside the programme launch, ITSEC introduced a new corporate logo and tagline, "Cybersecurity Delivered." The company said the refreshed identity reflects a delivery-focused model and an emphasis on measurable outcomes.
ITSEC also pointed to its status as a publicly listed company following its listing on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2023. It said it serves government, financial services, telecommunications and industrial sectors.
The company stated it has delivered more than 5,000 cybersecurity projects. It also cited more than 330 professionals operating across multiple markets.
ITSEC said the national programme will run as an ongoing initiative and will continue to develop through the cycle leading up to the ITSEC Cybersecurity & AI Summit 2026.
