Technology is Your Teacher

Indonesia is Short of Cyber Experts

Indonesia lacks cyber security talent and that poses very real problems in strategic industries, defense, national unity and business. Imagine if there is a cyber war the term of some Indonesian Cyber soldiers who can defend and strengthen the defense of the nation.

The power of HR (human resources) is just as important as the power of technology itself. In the industrial world, both banking, telecommunications and government agencies, almost all countries in the world, have used technology as the basis of their work performance activities. Technology will continue to grow rapidly every year without limits.

In various IT problems, the human resource element (HR) also plays a major role, for it is very necessary to think about and be prepared to prevent the rapid inequality of technological development and progress.

“According to the survey I have read, the world needs 15 million experts for cyber security. Indonesia now needs 1000 experts (experts) cyber security outside the officer for various needs of government agencies, industry, banking, telko and so on.” Eva Noor (23/12), CEO of PT Xynexis International in her written statement in Jakarta, Monday (26/12) .

To address and overcome this, breakthroughs need to be made so that there is no inequality between the advancement of Informatics technology with HR or special supervision personnel in the field of IT , PT Xynexis gave birth to new innovations with the idea of the Born To Control program in collaboration with the Indonesian ministry of information and telecommunications (KOMINFO), in applying and running the program for the wider community.

“ Currently Xynexis new partner Kominfo to search for talent in the younger generation who are interested in the Born to Control program. In the future does not rule out the possibility of departments such as Defense, BI, Finance, Marine and various agencies – other government-owned agencies including private parties such as automotive, telko, banking, insurance can also partner in this program, and,” says Eva Noor .Born to control is a cyber security talent search program in Indonesia, with the aim of capturing at least 2000 HR talents in cyber security for 2017, aimed at creating an existing HR balance, in order to overcome the problems of current technological advances in informatics.

The need for cyber security system supervisors as the times progress will continue to be felt important existence. “The program is ideally there from junior or upper secondary education to high school students who have IT faculty or special IT education, as the main course, ” said Eva.

Xynexis Talent Search Process with Kominfo in 2017 conducted awards in 5 cities in socializing the program initiated in the hope of continuing in other cities the following year.

Awarnes intended to invite all levels of society at large, especially the young generation who are interested in cyber security programs. “Specialty talent search program in cyber security, do not have to understand IT. Because by having interest alone is enough which will then be collected and given special training in the bootcamp which will be held 2 weeks at the second stage in trapping the candidates,” he said. Of 2000 participants. It is expected to be selected the best 100 people in each area and given character building construction and special training with international standards .

“ This character development is considered necessary because many people are smart and have good skills, but many of these skills are found to be used in things that are not good or negative. Especially in the IT world,”. He explained, so that the HR mindset can at least defend itself while also being a retainer of the defense of the nation and state in cyber attacks that could be a serious threat in the future.

In this talent search, the Targets for HR Born To Control are all Indonesian citizens, aged 16 years and above and educated upper middle, up to college.

“ All of course there will be an initial test. Although the candidates who participate are only educated in high school and do not continue to be in college, but talented and have a strong desire, why is it impossible that can be the main candidate," he said.

For those who are selected, he continued, being the best candidate will get an appreciation in the form of educational scholarships in addition to being given a channel of opportunity to work for companies or agencies in need.

Born To Control program is felt to be very important held so that there is no technological inequality that shot away with the existing HR. This is also considered important so that the government should no longer import or bring in outside experts in handling cyber security problems in this country. When this happens, it is certainly very detrimental and endangers the resilience and defense of the nation.

The dilemma that arises is, on the one hand Indonesia needs technology development in the business industry and governance.

On the other hand, HR owned is limited and does not rule out the possibility if outside experts are empowered, in the future will bring serious and big problems let alone talk about data confidentiality, data, where the problems that arise into a security that is quite sensitive, especially on the issue of resilience and defense of the nation in various sectors. “ This is where we finally talk about how we keep a nation's sovereignty from the role of cyber security in countering the possibility of cyber war that could happen. Later it is appropriate that we have a generation that has a mindset of martial you and your nation,”
