Tantangan Keamanan Cyber pada Inovasi Kebijakan Pemerintah di masa Pandemi Covid-19

This paper discusses the discourse on innovations in the Indonesian government’s
policies in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, which is faced with cyber
security challenges. Digitizing the public life sector is a must in the midst of
the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic which requires restrictions on direct
interaction between humans. Meanwhile, cybersecurity threats are a challenge
to realize technology-based policy innovations in the midst of the COVID-19
pandemic. This article uses the theoretical framework of policy innovation and
cyber security to explain cyber security challenges in policy innovations by the
Indonesian government in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study
found that the state had a fast and agile response in dealing with Covid-19 but
needed new strategies and approaches, namely collaborative, while prioritizing
strengthening the role of regional heads. The role of regional heads has an
orientation on two things, namely, first, local accountability to protect and fulfill
the rights of the people and secondly, realizing local government responsiveness
to be able to understand the constraints and needs faced by the community.
