Key Insight: Indonesia faces a significant cybersecurity workforce gap in 2026, with only 45,000 professionals to serve a rapidly expanding digital economy. The gap of 30,000 roles highlights the urgent need for enhanced training and recruitment efforts to protect critical infrastructure and businesses from cyber threats. Despite increasing awareness, many organizations still lack comprehensive cybersecurity policies, which could leave them vulnerable to evolving attacks.
