Gerakan Nasional Ketahanan Siber Roadshow Banten : Executive Cyber Resilience Tabletop Exercise

What Is the GNKS Roadshow? 

The Gerakan Nasional Ketahanan Siber (National Cyber Resilience Movement) Roadshow is a year-long national initiative developed by PT ITSEC Asia Tbk (IDX: CYBR) and ADIGSI (Asosiasi Digitalisasi dan Keamanan Siber Indonesia) as part of the lead-up to the ITSEC Cybersecurity & AI Summit 2026. 

The program runs across six Indonesian cities, Banten, Pontianak, Bali, Yogyakarta, Medan, and Makassar, targeting executives, risk owners, and operational leaders who are responsible for their organizations' cyber readiness. 

The Banten edition took place on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at JHL Solitaire Gading Serpong, Tangerang, with approximately 100 participants in a round table workshop format. 

What Did Participants Do?

The core of the event was an Executive Tabletop Exercise, a structured, scenario-based crisis simulation designed to place decision-makers inside a realistic cyberattack scenario and test their responses in real time.

The exercise unfolded across five progressive stages, moving participants from threat landscape awareness through hands-on incident workshops and into full-scale crisis simulations. Each stage built on the last, challenging executives to think collaboratively, make high-stakes decisions under pressure, and ultimately reflect on what stronger cyber leadership looks like in practice.

What set the exercise apart was its emphasis on tangible outcomes. Every participating organization left with three concrete deliverables, a sector-specific risk matrix, a near-term security design concept, and a team skills assessment, ensuring the day's insights translated directly into action back at the office.

Simulation of Digital Bank Under Attack & Key Findings

The simulation centered on a fictional mid-to-large digital bank, designed to mirror the kind of organization many participants either lead or support. The attack unfolded in four phases, from a single employee opening a suspicious file, to early system anomalies, to full operational disruption, with participants stepping into the roles of a crisis response team, making real-time decisions at each escalation point.

What the simulation surfaced was telling. Teams consistently struggled with early detection, escalation paths were unclear, and information remained fragmented across groups with no single source of truth. Perhaps most significantly, technical containment and business impact were treated as separate concerns, a disconnect that, in a real incident, can be the difference between a managed crisis and an uncontrolled one.

Why This Matters for Indonesian Organizations

ITSEC Asia is Indonesia's leading cybersecurity company and has been delivering end-to-end security solutions for more than 15 years across financial services, telecommunications, energy, manufacturing, and government sectors. The company currently serves over 100 active clients across multiple countries and is listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX: CYBR).

ADIGSI serves as the national platform connecting digital industry players, cybersecurity practitioners, regulators, and key stakeholders, making it a natural partner for a national awareness movement of this scale.

Together, they designed the GNKS Roadshow around a core insight: cybersecurity is no longer an IT issue, it is a business resilience issue.

The same threat can produce radically different outcomes. The difference is not the size of the security budget or the sophistication of the tools. It is how quickly an organization sees the threat and how clearly it acts.

What Participants Are Expected to Do Next 

The exercise didn't end when the simulation did. Participants left with a structured set of post-event action items spanning three timeframes, turning the day's lessons into a forward-looking roadmap.

In the near term, the focus is on laying the foundation, forming a CSIRT with clearly defined roles, naming an Incident Commander, and documenting escalation chains and response protocols that teams can actually act on under pressure. Over the medium term, organizations are expected to build capability through regular tabletop exercises, cross-functional awareness training, and stronger communication protocols across divisions. Looking further ahead, the long-term priority is deeper organizational resilience: centralized monitoring across network, endpoint, and cloud environments, proactive threat detection, and technical cyber drills that stress-test infrastructure alongside leadership-level simulations.

Taken together, the action items reflect a core message from the day, that cyber resilience is not a one-time exercise, but an ongoing discipline that has to be built deliberately, from the top down.

What's Next: The Roadshow Continues

The closing reflection of Operasi Ghost Protocol Simulation is worth stating plainly: the same threat can produce radically different outcomes depending entirely on how quickly an organization sees it and acts on it. Not better firewalls. Not larger security budgets. Speed of perception and clarity of response.

Indonesia's digital economy is accelerating. The threat surface is expanding in parallel. Organizations that treat cybersecurity as an IT cost center, rather than a business resilience capability, will find out the hard way what participants in Ghost Protocol discovered in a safe, simulated environment.

The question is not whether your organization will face a serious cyber incident. The question is whether you have already decided what happens next.
