Funded by the Australian Government through DFAT’s E-commerce Aid for Trade Initiative, the program titled ‘Cybersecurity Skills for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises’ provides small business owners a series of webinars and offline exercises on cybersecurity and global trade. The objective was to reduce the range of cyber threats and risks to growing a business, understand the regulations of digital trade including the protection of personal data as well understanding the commercial opportunities that are being opened up with the new IA-CEPA Agreement that came into effect in July last year.

The program was delivered by the Australia-Indonesia Centre (AIC) in partnership with Indonesia’s National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), the Ministry of Cooperative and MSMEs (Kemenkop UKM) and the Association of Information Systems Indonesia Chapter (AISINDO).

Following the opening statements from the AIC and supporting partners, three business owners were called to represent the participants in receiving their e-certificates. They were Ibu Anindya Sukarni, Founder and CEO of Miumosa, proposed by the Ministry; Ibu Rita Indriany, Founder dan CEO of Acuksae, proposed by the Government of Bandung; and Ibu Widya Esthi Riany, Founder and CEO of Lula Pasta, proposed by the Government of Jakarta.
