He said the government is aware that cyber security is a crucial field in this creative, digital, and innovative era. Through this era, the world economic growth will be developed.
The government must be prepared to build a cyber security. "In the future, Indonesia will face so many challenges. So that the security should be strengthened," he said.
He added that the establishment of the National Cyber Agency (BCN) is still continued. The BCN will implement the prevention policy and control of emergency due to the threat and incidents of cyber attacks.
