Jakarta \u2014 The National Cyber and Cryptography Agency (BSSN) has\nreaffirmed its commitment to building a resilient national cyber\nsecurity ecosystem through a collaborative quad helix approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cCyber security is the foundation of trust in our national digital\necosystem. Without strong cyber resilience, digital transformation will\nnot proceed optimally,\u201d said Berty B.W. Sumakud, Head of BSSN\u2019s Legal\nand Public Communication Bureau, in a statement received in Jakarta on\nThursday.<\/p>\n
The quad helix is a collaborative system involving government,\nindustry, academia, and communities, with mass media serving as a\nstrategic partner in disseminating cyber security information to the\npublic.<\/p>\n
This commitment emerged during a cyber security dialogue session\n(CyberTalk) held as part of BSSN\u2019s Ramadhan networking event with\nleading editors and media representatives in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
According to Berty, collaboration with national media represents an\nimplementation of strengthening the quad helix and disseminating\nnational cyber security awareness. In this forum, BSSN emphasised that\nthe quad helix approach is a strategic framework essential to building a\nresilient and sustainable national cyber ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Within this framework, media occupies a strategic position as a\nbridge for information, shaping public perception, and accelerating\ndigital literacy among communities.<\/p>\n
As a follow-up to strengthening this ecosystem, BSSN introduced the\nstrategic agenda Cyber Resilience and Defence 2026. \u201cThis is a national\nforum designed to bring together stakeholders from five main elements on\na single collaborative platform,\u201d Berty said.<\/p>\n
Through this platform, policy leaders, industry practitioners, and\ncyber security communities are expected to strengthen synergies in\nbuilding adaptive, responsive, and sustainable national cyber\nresilience.<\/p>\n
In line with this initiative, BSSN views mass media not merely as a\ncommunication channel, but as a strategic partner in building national\ncyber resilience. \u201cMedia plays a vital role in enhancing digital\nliteracy, shaping objective public perspective, and disseminating\naccurate and educational information regarding the evolving landscape of\ncyber threats,\u201d Berty explained.<\/p>\n
He added that current cyber threats have become increasingly complex,\nranging from attacks on critical information infrastructure, malware\ndistribution, to disinformation in digital spaces. \u201cBSSN hopes that\ncollaboration with media can serve as the first line of defence in\nbuilding collective societal awareness against these various threats,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n
During the cyber dialogue, two experts participated: cyber security\nspecialist I Made Wiryana and communications expert Ermiel Thabrani, who\nshared their perspectives on national cyber security.<\/p>\n
\u201cDigital literacy and cyber security education are key factors in\ndeveloping national cyber security,\u201d Wiryana said.<\/p>\n
Communications expert Ermiel Thabrani emphasised the important role\nof media in conveying crisis communication and how to maintain trust\namid cyber incidents that frequently occur. \u201cIn situations of crisis or\nnational cyber incidents, how institutions respond and build public\nnarratives will determine public perception and BSSN\u2019s credibility as a\ncyber authority at both national and international levels,\u201d Thabrani\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bssn-builds-resilient-national-cyber-security-ecosystem-through-quad-helix-model-1773291284", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
