Businesses in Indonesia face advanced cyber threats like ransomware, phishing, and social engineering. Lacking expertise and resources, many struggle to combat these evolving challenges, leaving them vulnerable to sophisticated attacks. Even IT security teams face understaffing and skill gaps, leading to inconsistent security practices. Delayed updates can expose systems to breaches, while building an in-house team remains costly for smaller businesses.

Many businesses rely on outdated legacy applications that lack modern security features, leaving sensitive data exposed. Upgrading these systems is essential but remains a challenging task for many organizations. Indonesia’s evolving cybersecurity regulations, like UU Nomor 27 tahun 2022, demand robust measures to avoid fines and reputational damage. Compliance is challenging, especially for businesses without dedicated legal or compliance teams.

The high cost of building and maintaining cybersecurity infrastructure, including tools and compliance measures, is a major challenge. Regular updates and upgrades further strain budgets, limiting businesses’ ability to achieve robust protection.
