Cyber Security is an activity to protect information or telematics resources to prevent the occurrence of cyber-crime or criminal attacks in cyberspace that interfere with the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

In relation to the BPK examination, Hendra Susanto revealed that the BPK had conducted a performance check on the handling of cyber-crimes at the Indonesian National Police in 2018. In this examination, BPK played a role in strengthening cyber security in Indonesia through recommendations given in the form of implementing cyber e-policy in dealing with cyber-crimes.
“The government’s great attention to national cyber security requires an evaluation of the process of procurement of goods and services for the supporting devices and applications for strengthening the national cyber security,” said Hendra Susanto in his presentation. Furthermore, he revealed that BPK also developed an audit strategy in the form of testing instruments (use of experts) for the suitability of the procurement output with the plan, then carried out an assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of the sustainability of Information Technology products compared to the procurement that had been carried out previously, the procurement process of goods and services that have been performed, as well as inter-institutional coordination.
