SearchInform Addresses Hidden Business Risks at NCC 2026
SearchInform participated as a Gold Sponsor in National Cybersecurity Connect (NCC) 2026, held on October 28-29 at Bidakara Hotel in Jakarta. As Indonesia advances digital transformation and AI adoption, the company used a panel discussion, a Cyber Stage presentation, and its exhibition booth to share practical ways to protect sensitive information, prevent insider misconduct, and improve the effectiveness of data protection projects.
During the panel discussion “Cybersecurity for the Next Phase of Digital Growth,” a SearchInform representative joined experts from Indonesia's National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), Bank Mega, alongside technology-sector experts. SearchInform presented a practical three-step approach to protecting corporate information and preventing insider threats. The first step is to identify and classify sensitive data across employee workstations, internal storage systems, and cloud environments. The second is to control how this information is shared through email, messengers, USB devices, printers, and other data transmission channels to prevent unauthorized disclosure. The third goes beyond traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to Money Loss Prevention (MLP) – proactively detecting internal fraud, misuse of corporate resources, systematic misuse of working time, and other employee-related violations that can result in financial losses. The MLP concept attracted particular interest from fellow panelists, highlighting the importance of protecting businesses against financial damage caused by internal misconduct.
The expert presentations continued with a Cyber Stage session by Mairi Herman, Country Director of SearchInform Indonesia, titled “What Makes a DLP Project Succeed: Lessons from Implementations That Stalled.” He cited a fraud case at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in Sabang, where an employee used her access to banking systems and her supervisor’s credentials to carry out fraudulent transactions involving approximately IDR 1.4 billion. The case illustrated the financial consequences of weaknesses in internal access and authorization controls.
Mairi Herman also discussed how organizations can implement effective data protection and reduce the risk of corporate fraud. Mairi identified common reasons Data Loss Prevention (DLP) projects fall short: complex administration, excessive false positives, inadequate vendor support, and purchasing decisions driven mainly by price. Successful implementation, he explained, starts with clear objectives and identifying sensitive data. Solutions must cover the communication channels employees actually use – email, messengers, cloud services, and AI platforms – and also offer adaptable policies, manageable alerts, and detailed activity records for incident investigations.
Over the two days of NCC 2026, the SearchInform Indonesia team established new connections with cybersecurity professionals, IT decision-makers, and potential technology partners at Booth D01. Next-Gen DLP Risk-Monitor evoked a strong response. The attendees were especially impressed with the functionality enabling to prevent data loss, mitigate corporate fraud, prevent misuse of company resources and other employee-related risks that can cause financial losses. Conversations also covered digital forensics, incident investigation, and practical ways to strengthen internal controls, creating opportunities for further cooperation with local organizations and technology partners.
NCC 2026 reinforced an important message: effective cybersecurity goes beyond stopping external attacks. It also requires visibility into internal risks and control over how sensitive information is handled.
SearchInform thanks the organizers, speakers, partners, and visitors for the valuable discussions and opportunities to strengthen cybersecurity cooperation in Indonesia.
