The cyber agency's Deputy for Cybersecurity and Economic Encryption Slamet Aji Pamungkas said Thursday the initiative underscores the need for shared responsibility across government, industry, and the public to protect critical infrastructure.
“We must not wait for incidents to act,” Pamungkas said, urging that cybersecurity be integrated into system and software design from the outset.
He called on industries, including the Information Technology Security Evaluation Criteria (ITSEC), to collaborate with the government to prevent cyber threats nationwide.

Sessions addressed key issues including infrastructure protection, cyber workforce development, and threat mitigation strategies.
Pamungkas said the summit was a major step toward enhancing Indonesia’s cybersecurity ecosystem.
