currently working on scaling cybersecurity here in indonesia. not just through helping teams improve their security posture but also by creating a community of skilled technical people who are not commercially driven but rather commited to continuous learning in order to actually improve indonesia's cybersecurity posture as a country internally.

it's sad to see how the media always protrays how bad our cybersecurity is, especially in the public sector...well it is pretty bad. most public sector procurement processes still prioritize the lowest price over the actual quality and effectiveness of the service delivered. it's disappointing to see this in a time where cybersecurity is now a cost of doing business, not an end of year budget spending spree anymore.

how i'm pulling my weight? well im personally trying to build Indonesia's Offsec chapter with the goal of creating an nfp community where we continuously learn and share knowledge with one another. i also have a great team creating probably the first local cybersecurity product for SMBs, if you wanna check it out you can go to siteprotect.ai.

once again, all this is a nation-wide effort, welp thanks for reading, God bless you.
