Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs and the National Cyber and Encryption Agency (BSSN) have agreed to strengthen coordination to ensure reliable cybersecurity.
Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid said on Friday that coordination between the two institutions needs to be reinforced, as cybercrime evolves rapidly and requires faster responses.
She stated that collaboration will be enhanced at the leadership level to ensure more efficient handling of cybersecurity incidents.
"In terms of communication, at the leadership level, we must be ready 24/7 if any issues require immediate attention," she said.
Meanwhile, BSSN Head Nugroho Sulistyo Budi said his meeting with Hafid was an initial step toward addressing overlapping regulations between the ministry and the agency.
As part of short-term program support, the agency will assist the ministry in cybersecurity efforts, particularly in protecting the National Data Center.
Additionally, BSSN plans to synchronize the harmonization of integrated social and economic data. The agency will also provide support in carrying out data protection functions.
"We will handle the technical aspects, while she (the minister) will contribute to strengthening our capabilities," Budi said.
