"Clarifying the division of authority, while ensuring protection for critical information infrastructure and public data," she said.

Amelia emphasized that enhancing cybersecurity must not only focus on the ability to repel attacks. The government must also ensure that critical services continue to operate and recover quickly when disruptions occur.

"The ultimate goal is not just to repel attacks, but to ensure that critical services continue to function and recover rapidly when there are disruptions," Amelia concluded.

Previously reported, waves of cyber threats continue to loom over Indonesia. According to monitoring from the Live Threat Map dashboard by FortiGuard Labs, a cyber threat research lab by Fortinet, about 1.6 million cyber threat activities were detected and blocked in Indonesia over the past 24 hours.

Data collected by KompasTekno on Monday (9/11/2026) morning indicated that the intensity of threats reached 19 activities per second.

The banking, financial, and insurance sectors reported the highest level of threat activity, accounting for about 761,000 activities. The technology sector followed with 386,000 activities, while the government sector recorded 121,000 activities.

In response to these findings, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Dudung Abdurachman stated that discussions about cyber threats were ongoing with various stakeholders, including banking and BSSN.

"Today, my deputy is also meeting with banking representatives, including from BSSN, to assess the current impacts of hackers, particularly regarding banking issues," Dudung said at the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs on Monday (9/11/2026).

Dudung noted that cyber threats do not only target the banking sector but also other institutions.

"I think not; it’s not limited to banking, as other institutions are also affected. This is currently under discussion, and I will provide further information accordingly," he explained.
