Cyber Jawara Event Highlights the Growing Importance of Cybersecurity
At the 2022Cyber Jawara , Mr. Yan Maraden as the speaker emphasized the critical need for increased cybersecurity awareness amidst rapid digital transformation. With the rise in digital activities, especially during the pandemic, the number of cyberattacks has surged, highlighting vulnerabilities in both governmental and corporate sectors. Many organizations are still not prioritizing security when developing their digital platforms, leaving them susceptible to breaches.
The event also addressed the significant role of human error in cyber incidents. Despite substantial investments in technology, the weakest link often remains the user, who may not be adequately trained in cybersecurity practices. This gap in knowledge and preparedness underscores the necessity of continuous education and awareness programs to mitigate risks effectively.
In response to these challenges, the Indonesian cybersecurity community, including institutions like IdCARE.UI , is working diligently to build a more secure digital environment. Through various training programs and collaborations, they aim to equip professionals with the skills needed to protect against cyber threats, ultimately contributing to a safer online space for all.
