JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com \u2014 Cyber attacks that are intensifying are no\nlonger solely targeting large systems but also everyday mobile devices.\nAmid the growth of the digital economy, vulnerabilities in personal\ndevices have become the primary entry point for risks.<\/p>\n
This situation has prompted PT ITSEC Asia Tbk to introduce\ninstitutional-based cybersecurity protection solutions, in line with the\nincreasing digital threats that are getting closer to users.<\/p>\n
President Director of ITSEC Asia, Patrick Dannacher, stated that the\ncompany\u2019s growth is inseparable from the rising need for protection amid\nthe digital transformation.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the past 16 years, ITSEC has grown alongside the acceleration\nof digital transformation in Indonesia,\u201d said Patrick in an official\nstatement on Wednesday (15\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cOur achievements today are not only reflected in business growth but\nalso in a stronger foundation as a sustainable and profitable\ncybersecurity company.\u201d<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s performance reflects this trend. Throughout 2025, ITSEC\nrecorded revenue of Rp 527.1 billion, up about 62% year-on-year, with\nnet profit of Rp 65.4 billion.<\/p>\n
The emerging threats are no longer simple, ranging from malware that\nenters unnoticed, scams disguised as banking or government services, to\nthe theft of financial data and digital accounts.<\/p>\n
Even malicious applications, including those related to online\ngambling, have become common risks. In many cases, a single unprotected\ndevice can open access to attacks on organisational systems.<\/p>\n
To address these gaps, ITSEC has introduced IntelliBron Aman\nEnterprise, which enables institutions to protect all members\u2019 devices\nthrough a subscription-based system.<\/p>\n
Patrick emphasised that current mobile threats directly impact users\u2019\nfinancial conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe threats faced by Indonesian society on their mobile phones today\nare not mere technical abstractions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut they are financial scams that can empty bank accounts, malware\nthat hijacks digital wallets, and platforms that exploit vulnerable\nusers.\u201d<\/p>\n
For high-value transactions, adding non-digital verification layers\nis crucial to reduce deepfake-based fraud risks. A combination of\ndigital verification and additional procedures outside electronic\nsystems is deemed capable of minimising identity manipulation gaps.<\/p>\n
Moreover, system resilience is a key factor. Security is not only\nmeasured by the ability to prevent attacks but also by the capacity to\nkeep critical services running, recover quickly, and reduce reliance on\na single infrastructure.<\/p>\n
In a digital ecosystem worth hundreds of billions of US dollars,\nsmall disruptions can have major impacts. Therefore, system architecture\nneeds to be designed to be resilient, considering worst-case\nscenarios.<\/p>\n
The 2026 momentum is a critical point. Projections for Indonesia\u2019s\ndigital economy valuation reaching 360 billion US dollars by 2030\nreflect the vast opportunities, as well as the increasing risks.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/cyber-attacks-intensify-major-risks-loom-for-mobile-phone-users-1776264653", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
