Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research explores Indonesia's strategy to address the threat of modern warfare, specifically cyberattacks that jeopardize the country's sovereignty. The focus is on the TNI Cyberforce, which was established to counter the increasing cyber threats since 2023. Indonesia has faced data leaks, ransomware attacks and espionage targeting vulnerable IT infrastructure. These attacks are used for intelligence theft, manipulation of public opinion, and disinformation by foreigners. TNI Cyberforce aims to strengthen national security, restore public trust, and improve readiness. This qualitative study uses a literature review and an objectives-ways-means framework to analyze the role of the Cyberforce as well as the human resources and infrastructure required. As part of Indonesia's defense strategy, the TNI Cyberforce plays an important role in maintaining sovereignty in the digital era.
