KISIA Promotes Cybersecurity Tech Exchange with Indonesia to Support Korean Firms' Market Entry

SecurityNovember 2, 20261 min read

Korea's cybersecurity industry group KISIA joined a security conference in Jakarta, Indonesia, to help Korean security firms enter the Indonesian market. The event focused on technology sharing and joint projects with local partners.

What happened

KISIA (the Korea Information Security Industry Association) took part in SuSEC 2026, a security conference held in Jakarta from May 13 to 15. Korean security firm LS Ware and Indonesian state-owned company SUCOFINDO hosted the event. About 200 guests attended, including government officials, military staff, and public agency and state company workers.

Key facts

The conference ran for 3 days, from May 13 to 15.
About 200 people attended.
A group of six companies is building a joint threat detection and response platform based on intelligent zero trust (a security model that checks every user and device before granting access).
The platform is being tuned using data from a LockBit ransomware attack (a type of attack that locks files and demands payment) in Indonesia.

Why the event was held

The event was set up to spread results from a government-backed cybersecurity research program to Indonesia. It also aims to help Korean companies sell their products abroad. The project is supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and IITP (the Institute for Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation).

Why it matters

Indonesia is a large and growing digital market, and it faces real cyberattacks. By working with local partners and adapting tools to local needs, Korean firms have a better chance to win contracts there. The effort also builds closer ties between the two countries' security industries.

What to watch

Whether the joint threat detection platform is launched in Indonesia.
Whether Korean security firms sign new deals with Indonesian government or state-owned companies.
How Indonesia's AI governance and security certification policies change in the coming months.

Official emergency warning apps hacked in Ukraine and Russia

Official emergency apps in Ukraine and Russia, which send urgent warnings such as air-raid alerts to residents' smartphones, were hacked according to authorities. Ukraine's "Air Alert" app falsely warned of radiation in Kyiv on Sunday night, and its air force said the app may have been compromised by the enemy and that there was no radiation danger. Russia reported a massive cyberattack on its warning app early Monday, with false information sent to the public, while its ministry said the national warning system itself was working normally.
