According to the Indonesia Financial Services Authority (OJK), a cyber incident is defined as any threat, activity, or action that results in the failure of an electronic system. In case of such an incident, organizations are required to submit an initial notification report within 24 hours of discovering the incident and detailed cyber incident report within the next 5 days.
Incident response planning is essential for helping businesses protect their data, finances, and operations after an incident. Without a clear plan, organizations risk delays in responding to attacks, increased costs from downtime, and potential penalties for not meeting regulatory requirements. Beyond preparation, knowing when and how to report a cyber incident is equally important, as it ensures compliance with regulations, minimizes damage, and helps maintain stakeholder trust.
