National Cybersecurity Policy Analysis for Effective Decision-Making in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The increasing development of Information and Communication Technology has formed cyberspace and has given birth to threats and potential cyber-attacks that impact a nation's national interests. This study aims to address the concern of cybersecurity. It is expected that recommendations will be produced for policy, priority action plans, and thematic maps as part of the National Action Plan (NAP) for Cybersecurity. This study employed qualitative methods and utilised the Rollet model, MICMAC, and MACTOR methods for analysis. The National Cybersecurity Strategy in Indonesia aims to address the increasing incidence of technical and social cyber-attacks, including data leaks, malware, trojans, and social cyber-attacks. It seeks to implement a comprehensive and forward-thinking approach to cybersecurity. This approach highlights the significance of an integrated, collaborative, and flexible National Action Plan (NAP) for cybersecurity. The objective is to protect the country's digital interests from 2024 to 2028. The study emphasises the importance of aligning the National Action Plan (NAP) for Cyber Security with key policy directions, including the RPJMN 2020-2024, RPJPN 2025-2045, and digital transformation. The importance of comprehensive implementation of cybersecurity policies, governance, risk management, and international cooperation as foundational elements for successful transformation is emphasised. Furthermore, it emphasises the significance of continuously adapting to evolving policy directions.
