President Prabowo Subianto Urges TNI to Master Technology to Face Cyber Threats
President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, has provided important directives to the ranks of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI). In his statement, the President emphasized that the TNI must be able to adapt to modern technological developments in order to remain relevant in safeguarding the nation's sovereignty.
The President highlighted that current security threats are no longer limited to physical attacks in the field. According to him, cyberattacks and the spread of disinformation have become real challenges that can disrupt national stability. Therefore, mastery of digital technology is considered an urgent necessity for all TNI members.
In addition to focusing on technology, the President also reminded everyone of the importance of maintaining professionalism and integrity within the military. He hopes that the TNI can collaborate with various parties to build a defense system that is stronger and more resilient against disturbances from both outside and within the country.
This step is part of the government's vision to modernize the primary weaponry defense system (alutsista) and improve the quality of human resources in the defense sector. With strong technological mastery, it is hoped that the TNI can protect state data and counter hoaxes that have the potential to divide society.
In closing, the President asserted that national security is a shared responsibility. The government is committed to continuously supporting the development of the TNI's capacity so that Indonesia is prepared to face global security challenges in the future.
