Cybersecurity Guidelines for Digital Financial Asset Trading Providers in Indonesia
Beyond these three core pillars, cybersecurity also involves aspects such as authenticity, accountability, non-repudiation, and reliability of both processes and information systems. To fully understand the urgency of cybersecurity, it is important to recognize the various types of threats that could potentially disrupt information systems and digital assets. These threats are the main reason why cyber protection must be a strategic priority. Threats may not only come from malicious external actors but can also stem from internal errors, misuse of access, and unidentified vulnerabilities within the digital supply chain. Several forms of cyber threats that warrant special attention include:
1.
Malware
Malware (malicious software) is software designed to damage, steal data, or take control of a device without permission. Such disruptions can cause both direct and indirect losses to the system owner.
2. Ransomware
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim’s files and demands a ransom to unlock the files. In other words, ransomware holds data hostage and demands payment for its release.
