In this cooperation, DesktopIP will adopt BSSN cryptography algorithm to deliver security and comfort to its users.
Heaptalk, Jakarta — A cloud-based digital enablement provider, DesktopIP, announced its strategic collaboration with the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) regarding the development of a Cyber Security Infrastructure. This cooperation will combine DesktopIP cloud computing with BSSN security system which will be built with cryptography algorithm.
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the President Director of DesktopIP Technology Indonesia, Dui Karuna Cosphiardi, and the Head of the Center for the Study and Development of Cyber Security Technology and Passwords, Eko Ariefianto, in the BSSN Office, Jakarta. (03/29)
In response to this collaboration, Dui Karuna Cosphiardi, familiarly called Phidi, conveyed that cloud storage industry had evolved significantly but most localization is only focused on creating comfort through functionality and target market aspects rather than security. Most countries apparently considers that adopting international cyber security standard will deliver comfort to society, but since the technology is relied on other countries, comfort degree can decrease exponentially due to two reasons, familiarity and control to data usage. Bridging this gap, Phidi claimed that this partnership is DesktopIP’s measure to go beyond.
“We realize the importance of the localized concept, especially in the security sector, to create a sense of security and comfort. In analogy, sophisticated security systems have emerged rapidly. However, does it make people feel comfortable? Not necessarily. Sometimes, we have to cultivate a sense of belonging, one of which is through nationalism. By adopting the domestic security system from national agency, namely BSSN, people will be more familiar, thus comfort and safe feeling can be attained,” said Phidi.
Aligned with Phidi’s statement, Eko also viewed that putting cloud security at the top priority is critical as cloud system is one of the base infrastructures from other digital platforms. Nevertheless, most cloud-based providers are foreign enterprises, thus the control to the data usage in their system cannot be guaranteed directly by the authority. For this reason, Eko noticed that Indonesia’s necessity to built local cloud security and based-cloud system is high to protect people’s data.
Moreover, to date, Eko perceived Indonesia’s stakeholders, in terms of ministries, institutions, and agencies are still operating a general cloud technology. Through the collaboration with DesktopIP, Eko explained these technology combination can be utilized by these multiple stakeholders in the archipelago.
“This collaboration is concrete evidence of a good partnership between the government through BSSN and the industry, in this case, DesktopIP, to retain cybersecurity in Indonesia. We expect the final output of this cooperation will immediately be spread on a national scale,” Eko concluded.
