PANDI Strengthens .id Domain Security Through National Cybersecurity Collaboration
Jakarta, November 5, 2026 – The Indonesia Internet Domain Name Registry (PANDI) continues to demonstrate its commitment to strengthening the security and resilience of Indonesia's internet infrastructure. This commitment was reflected in the participation of PANDI Chairman, Isnawan Aslam, in the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on Cybersecurity for Internet and DNS in Indonesia, organized by the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) on November 5, 2026.
The forum served as a strategic platform to discuss cybersecurity challenges, particularly those related to internet infrastructure and the Domain Name System (DNS) in Indonesia. Through this discussion, stakeholders were encouraged to strengthen coordination and develop collaborative measures to address increasingly complex cyber threats.
Strengthening .id Domain Security as Part of Indonesia's National Digital Infrastructure
As the registry responsible for Indonesia's country code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD), .id, PANDI plays a vital role in maintaining the security, stability, and reliability of the national domain ecosystem.
During the forum, PANDI emphasized the importance of protecting the .id domain ecosystem as part of broader efforts to safeguard Indonesia's National Vital Information Infrastructure. DNS security is particularly important because it enables users to access various digital services and platforms used in everyday activities.
As digital technology continues to advance, threats targeting internet infrastructure are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Therefore, cybersecurity strategies must focus not only on incident response but also on prevention, preparedness, and long-term resilience.
One emerging challenge highlighted in the discussion was the development of quantum computing technology. While quantum computing offers significant opportunities for technological advancement, it also introduces potential risks to existing cryptographic systems used to protect digital information and communications.
These developments underscore the importance of preparing Indonesia's internet infrastructure to anticipate future technological changes and evolving cybersecurity threats.
PANDI Encourages the Establishment of a Joint CSIRT with 24 Accredited Registrars
As a concrete step toward strengthening the security of the .id domain ecosystem, PANDI is encouraging the establishment of a joint Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) involving 24 accredited registrars.
A CSIRT is responsible for coordinating responses to cybersecurity incidents, including threat identification, incident analysis, mitigation, and recovery.
Through this initiative, PANDI aims to establish a more integrated security coordination mechanism between the .id domain registry and accredited registrars.
The proposed joint CSIRT is expected to deliver several key benefits:
Strengthening early threat detection to identify potential cybersecurity risks before they escalate.
Accelerating incident response through more effective coordination and information sharing.
Improving infrastructure preparedness and resilience against various forms of cyberattacks.
Maintaining the reliability of .id domain services to support a safer digital environment for individuals, businesses, and organizations.
This initiative represents an important step toward developing a more resilient, responsive, and secure domain management ecosystem in Indonesia.
Collaboration as the Foundation of Indonesia's Cyber Resilience
Internet security cannot be achieved by a single organization. It requires sustained collaboration among government institutions, internet infrastructure operators, domain registrars, and other stakeholders within the digital ecosystem.
Through its participation in the FGD organized by BSSN, PANDI reaffirmed the importance of cross-sector collaboration in strengthening Indonesia's preparedness against cybersecurity threats.
Such collaboration extends beyond technological improvements. It also involves enhancing human resource capabilities, facilitating cybersecurity information sharing, and establishing coordinated incident response mechanisms.
By adopting a collaborative approach, stakeholders can better anticipate security risks, improve response effectiveness, and support the long-term reliability of Indonesia's internet services.
Building a Safer and More Resilient Internet Ecosystem in Indonesia
PANDI's participation in the FGD on Cybersecurity for Internet and DNS in Indonesia reflects its ongoing commitment to strengthening the security of the nation's digital infrastructure.
By encouraging the establishment of a joint CSIRT with 24 accredited registrars, PANDI seeks to enhance protection across the .id domain ecosystem while improving preparedness for emerging cybersecurity challenges.
Moving forward, stronger coordination and collaboration among stakeholders are expected to provide a solid foundation for a safer, more reliable, and more resilient digital environment in Indonesia.
Because securing the internet is not only about technology, but also about collaboration and shared responsibility in building a safer digital future for Indonesia.
