Indonesian Army Establishing Cyberwarfare Center

The Indonesian Army (Tentera Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Darat: TNI-AD) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on 12 May with local institution Institut Teknologi Del (ITD) to develop a cyber-defence and warfare centre.

The MoU, signed by TNI Chief of Staff General Budiman and ITD Rector Dr Roberd Saragih, covers training and development of new offensive and defensive technologies that can be used by TNI-AD in conducting cyber warfare operations. Also present during the MoU signing ceremony were representatives from Indonesia's State Intelligence Agency (BIN).

ITD representative Deni Lumbantoruan told reporters that the cyber warfare centre will be hosted at ITD's campus located in Samosir, North Sumatra.
