In cyber security, companies like PT Digital Solusi Prima face complex challenges, needing to provide sophisticated solutions to support security operations and analyze data from various social media platforms for threat detection. Soesatyo also stressed the importance of developing smart perimeter surveillance, combining facial and object recognition to enhance security effectiveness in various environments. He emphasized the need for national defense and security industry players to improve tactical equipment and integrated systems for optimal data collection and cyber workforce development through education and talent cultivation. Soesatyo's advocacy for private sector involvement in the defense and security industry reflects a tangible effort to strengthen national sovereignty in the digital era. Collaboration between the government, legislative bodies, and the private sector is vital for advancing Indonesia as a reliable defense and security power globally. Additionally, this collaboration will boost technology industry development and cultivate highly skilled human resources in the cyber field, contributing to long-term economic growth and national security.
