networks so that they may not be used as an attack launching platform for other
countries or even an individual.
There are no common definitions for cyber terms they are understood to mean
different things by different nations/organizations, despite prevalence in mainstream
media and in national and international organizational statements (Torsten Corall,
2018). Nevertheless, no matter how good a country might be in building a
cybersecurity ecosystem, in reality, it is almost impossible to maintain cybersecurity
alone. Cyberspace is not built by one person, one company or one country but by
many contributors and this will continue like it is today in the coming future
(Reksoprodjo., 2015). In the 2018 Honeynet Project Annual Report, out of 21
honeypots that were installed it is recorded that the total number of attacks towards
the 21 sensors installed is 12,895,554 attacks, with malware being the largest with
513,863 attacks. The 3 (three) largest source of attacks come from Russia
(2,597,256), China (1,871,363), and the U.S.A. (1,428,256). The most attacked ports
are smbd port (2,071,320), SipSession (1,298,691), and SipCall (1,187,560). The
highest malware type attack is Win31/Conficker.worm.167765 (429,208 attacks).
(Badan Siber dan Sandi Negara., 2019). The Honeynet Annual Report surely provide
significant benefits for many companies in Indonesia especially for the governmental
institutions because it give early warning of a potential cyberattacks coming origin
and the location of the coming attack.
2. Stakeholders and Policies from the Government
Cyber defense is an effort aimed at overcoming cyber attacks that interfere
with normal management. Cyber defenses are prepared to deal with such cyber
attacks (Kementerian Pertahanan., 2014) Cyber defense is a computer network
defense mechanism that includes a response to actions and critical infrastructure
protection and information assurance for organizations, government entities, and
other possible networks. Cyber defense focuses on preventing, detecting, and
providing timely responses to attacks or threats so that no infrastructure or
information is tampered with. With the growth in volume as well as the complexity
of cyberattacks, cyber defense is essential for most entities in order to protect
sensitive information as well as to safeguard assets. Cyber defense provides the
much-needed assurance to run the processes and activities, free from worries about
threats. It helps in enhancing the security strategy utilizations and resources most
effectively. The cyber defense also helps in improving the effectiveness of the
security resources and security expenses, especially in critical locations (Galinec,
Možnik, & Guberina, 2017).
Cyber defense in the Ministry of Defense can be a real example of the
government's efforts to build a cyber defense posture for the government
environment. There are four frameworks developed in building a cyber defense
namely; policy, institutional, technology, and human resources. Technology and
human resources development are two technical aspects quite interesting to discuss
further. Technology/infrastructure that needs to be built-in to support a cyber defense
