In today’s fast-paced business and economic landscape, technology plays a crucial role in driving innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness. Digital transformation has reshaped industries, from financial technology (fintech) and e-commerce to supply chain management and strategic decision-making. To stay ahead in this dynamic environment, students must gain international exposure and insights into how businesses worldwide adapt to technological advancements. Two Diponegoro University (Undip) Management students participated in the Student Go International program to Universiti Tecnology MARA (UiTM), Malaysia, on February 17-21, 2025. This program aims to enhance cross-border academic collaboration and provide students with international exposure to broaden their knowledge and experience.
The Student Go International Program serves as a platform for students to engage in academic discussions, cultural exchanges, and networking opportunities with students from various countries. It also facilitates knowledge-sharing sessions with experts in business and management, equipping students with global perspectives on contemporary management challenges.
The two Management students, Ajeng Cantika Yudhoyono and Nabila Khairunisa, expressed their enthusiasm for being part of this prestigious program. This program goes beyond traditional classroom learning by incorporating interactive experiences such as group discussions, hands-on simulations, and visits to research centers and industrial facilities. With a strong focus on emerging technologies, it delves into key topics such as renewable energy, automation, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT). This approach allows students to gain firsthand insights into how modern technology is applied to develop innovative solutions that drive progress across various industries. Additionally, they had the opportunity to interact with lecturers and students from UiTM and other participating universities. Apart from academic engagements, the students also took part in cultural immersion activities, gaining a deeper understanding of Malaysia’s rich traditions and heritage. This experience further strengthened their global mindset and adaptability in an increasingly interconnected world.

This championship followed the Taekwondo Cup National Championship held in Jakarta in October 2023.
In his speech, the Chief of Naval Staff (Kasal) emphasized that this event is more than just a competition—it’s a demonstration of the Indonesian Navy’s support for the growth of national sports and the improvement of Indonesian athletes achievements at the international level. “This competition is part of the implementation of the National Sports Grand Design (DBON), one of the key priorities of President Prabowo Subianto’s Asta Cita program,” he stated. He also expressed his appreciation to all the participants and expressed hope that the event would inspire the younger generation to engage in martial arts. “The achievement today is not the end but the beginning of a journey toward even greater accomplishments,” he added.

Strengthening a Noble and Valuable World-Class Faculty through Synergy and Accelerated Growth

The year 2024 marks a new reality for cybersecurity in Indonesia. Ransomware attacks—a type of malicious software that encrypts data and demands a ransom to restore access—have risen significantly, with 32,803 incidents recorded in the first six months alone. According to a Kaspersky report, this figure makes Indonesia the country with the highest number of ransomware attacks in Southeast Asia. Amidst the rapid wave of digitalization, this phenomenon is not just a technical threat but also a reflection of our readiness to face an increasingly interconnected digital world.
One of the most disruptive attacks targeted the National Data Center (PDN) in June 2024. The ransomware Brain Cipher, a variant of Lockbit 3.0, caused significant disruptions to government services, including airport immigration operations. The attackers demanded a ransom of USD 8 million, but the government refused to pay. The impact went beyond service interruptions, resulting in substantial financial losses. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks faced by the nation’s digital infrastructure.
Ransomware represents the ever-evolving dynamics of global cyber threats. On one hand, technological advancements bring opportunities for economic growth and innovation. On the other hand, technology becomes a new battlefield for crime. The hackers creating ransomware are no longer just individual actors; they are part of organized international criminal networks exploiting system vulnerabilities and weak digital security cultures to reap enormous profits.
Indonesia’s banking sector is among the primary targets. In December 2024, a major incident involved a national bank attacked by the Bashe hacking group. Sensitive data, including customer information and internal documents, was allegedly encrypted with a ransom demand in cryptocurrency. Although the bank downplayed the impact of the attack, investigations revealed possible attempts to cover up the incident to protect its reputation. This event sparked debates about transparency in handling cyber incidents, especially in strategic sectors like banking.
But what is truly at stake in ransomware attacks? It’s not just the ransom money but also public trust. In an era where data is the new currency, losing trust can be more damaging than direct financial losses. This banking case underscores an important lesson: concealing problems will only worsen the situation. Transparency is not only an ethical solution but also a long-term strategy to build trust and demonstrate preparedness against threats.
The impact of ransomware extends beyond strategic sectors. In the case of the PDN attack, the effects rippled across the entire public service ecosystem. From immigration to administrative services, the disruptions highlighted our increasing reliance on digital systems. When these systems fail, it is the public that suffers the most. This dependency is a double-edged sword: it brings efficiency but also heightens risks if not accompanied by adequate infrastructure and security readiness.
This underscores the importance of proactive measures. Cybersecurity is no longer optional but an urgent necessity. The Indonesian government has taken strategic steps, including auditing government data centers and enhancing security infrastructure. However, these efforts must be expanded and accelerated. The private sector, especially companies managing sensitive data, must also invest more in security technologies, employee training, and regular system audits. Without a collaborative approach between the government, private sector, and the public, ransomware threats will remain a persistent challenge.
When dealing with ransomware threats, a simple yet profound adage applies: “Prevention is better than cure.” This principle is critical in the context of cybersecurity. Regular data backups, security system updates, and employee awareness of cyber threats are simple yet crucial steps. Additionally, cybersecurity simulations can help organizations test their preparedness and address existing weaknesses.
However, beyond technical measures, cybersecurity is about culture. In Indonesia, awareness of the importance of digital security remains low. Many organizations view cybersecurity investments as additional costs rather than essential needs. This perception must change. Cybersecurity should be seen as a long-term investment that protects not just data but also reputation and business sustainability.
Ransomware attacks are not just about technology but also about how we, as a nation, respond to this challenge. The digital world brings not only risks but also immense opportunities. By building robust security infrastructures, raising public awareness, and fostering a culture of transparency, Indonesia can become a role model in Southeast Asia for addressing cyber threats. Just as every challenge brings opportunities, ransomware attacks remind us to continually learn, adapt, and innovate. With the right steps, this threat can serve as a catalyst for a safer, more resilient, and sustainable digital transformation. Only through awareness and collective action can Indonesia move beyond the shadow of cyber threats and confidently step into a better future.
Finally, in a modern era deeply reliant on technology, the principle “failure is not an option” becomes increasingly relevant. Ransomware is not merely a technological threat but a real danger to data security, operations, and public trust. Therefore, we must remain vigilant and proactive, safeguarding systems with preventive measures such as data backups, system updates, and employee education to avoid devastating impacts.
