Google Cloud Launches Indonesia BerdAIa for Security to Enhance Cyber Defense in Key Sectors
Google Cloud has introduced Indonesia BerdAIa for Security, a program focused on strengthening cybersecurity across Indonesia's critical economic sectors. Central to this initiative is the launch of a local security operations data region in Jakarta, enabling organizations to store security telemetry data within the country’s borders, ensuring compliance with local data residency rules.
This program supports organizations in executing security transformation roadmaps, deploying Google Security Operations platforms, optimizing processes, and advancing workforce cyber-readiness through specialized training.
What Indonesia BerdAIa for Security Brings to Operations Teams
Indonesia BerdAIa for Security leverages Google Cloud’s AI-driven security technologies combined with expert guidance and training. It offers:
- Independent assessments across security governance, architecture, cyber defense, and risk management.
- Actionable recommendations tailored to each organization's risk profile and maturity level.
- Custom strategies and roadmaps to establish or improve Security Operations Centers (SOCs).
- Deployment of the AI-powered Google Security Operations platform to reduce manual workload and speed up threat detection and response.
- Tracking of key security metrics such as Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) to measure improvements.
- Options for managed or co-managed SOC services, including 24/7 threat detection and response support from Mandiant experts.
- Workforce development through on-demand and instructor-led courses via Google Cloud Skills Boost and Mandiant Academy.
These capabilities aim to help operations teams move from reactive to proactive security postures, potentially reducing cyberattack losses by IDR 29 trillion (US$1.8 billion) over the next five years.
AI-Enabled Security Operations for Practical Defense
The heart of this program is the Google Security Operations platform, which combines Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) into a single AI-driven solution. It processes security data from across on-premises, cloud, and multicloud environments with data residency controls.
Security teams often face an overwhelming number of alerts daily. Google Security Operations uses AI agents to triage alerts by automatically gathering context, analyzing suspicious activities, and prioritizing incidents with clear recommendations.
Once identified, the platform’s investigation assistant helps reduce manual tasks by answering natural language queries, generating complex threat-hunting searches, and creating detection rules without the need for specialized coding skills. The playbook assistant automates response workflows, enabling faster and more consistent incident management.
This AI support allows junior analysts to perform advanced security tasks, easing the talent gap faced by many Security Operations Centers.
Partner Ecosystem and Workforce Training
Google Cloud collaborates with local Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) such as Accenture, Astra Graphia Information Technology (AGIT), Deloitte, Elitery, and SQShield to deliver these services.
The program also offers subsidized access to training licenses for Google Cloud Skills Boost and Mandiant Academy. This helps teams train senior management on cyber defense, prepare cloud security engineers for certification, rehearse incident response, and improve enterprise-wide cyber hygiene.
Early Adopters
Leading organizations like Astra International, Bukalapak, Dipo Star Finance, and Kereta Api Indonesia have already joined Indonesia BerdAIa for Security, setting examples for others in the region.
