NEC signs agreement to boost Indonesian cyber security

Japan's NEC Corporation has signed an agreement with an Indonesian government agency to collaborate on developing cyber security capabilities in the southeast Asian nation.

NEC said work would be channelled through a memorandum of understanding signed on 22 September with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology's security incident response team on internet infrastructure/co-ordination centre.

NEC said it would collaborate with the agency to design a "security operation centre" (SOC) that meets cyber security requirements of the Indonesian government and its respective bureaus.

Under the agreement NEC will also outline a plan for human resources development to support the SOC and explore opportunities to develop countermeasures against increasing instances of cyber attacks in Indonesia.
