Indonesia's Financial Services Authority has held a cyber security workshop for providers of financial sector technology innovation, digital financial assets and crypto assets, in cooperation with the National Cyber and Crypto Agency, as part of its effort to strengthen cyber resilience across the national digital finance industry. In remarks during the event, the authority said firms should move from compliance-based security to resilience-based security, treating cyber security as part of business strategy, corporate governance, risk management and consumer protection rather than only as a compliance obligation. The workshop took place in Jakarta from 27 to 29 April 2026 and was attended by providers in those segments, with most participants drawn from the board level. It was designed to strengthen understanding of cyber risk, raise vigilance, and improve firms' ability to prevent, detect, respond to and recover from cyber incidents. The authority also stressed the need for stronger human resources, operational discipline, incident reporting and supporting controls, while the National Cyber and Crypto Agency highlighted the role of a human firewall through staff training and awareness to detect threats such as phishing and malware. The Indonesia Financial Services Authority said it will continue expanding coordination with relevant ministries and agencies, law enforcement bodies, industry associations and market participants so that cyber risk management is handled in an integrated way across the digital financial sector.
