eb application attacks are one of the most common causes of information security incidents. The damage they cause can be serious, so organizations must consider the associated risks with special attention and provide protection using a web application firewall.
To demonstrate its commitment to providing cybersecurity protection to its customers, especially Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection, IDCloudHost, a leading hosting service provider in Southeast Asia, participated in the Cloud Expo Asia event held on Oct. 11-12.
The event was attended by investors and technology enthusiasts, creating valuable opportunities to share insights about the latest technology trends in the field of cloud computing.
IDCloudHost has a longstanding strategic partnership with StormWall, a leading cybersecurity company from Russia. These two companies joined forces to bring innovation and data security to their customers in the Southeast Asian service area. Additionally, IDCloudHost has partnered with the leading Estonian platform company, Warren, to deliver quality cloud services.
To enhance data protection for their customers, IDCloudHost CEO Alfian Pamungkas Sakawiguna stated, "We reiterate our commitment to safeguard the security of our customers, in collaboration with StormWall. We don't just want to be consumers of technology giants, but to take a different path, collaborate, transfer technology and develop innovative digital services with global technology sophistication and local wisdom. We do all this to provide comfort to our customers."
StormWall, an award-winning cybersecurity company, brings exceptional experience and technology to swiftly and effectively mitigate cyber threats. This collaboration will ensure that IDCloudHost customers have stronger protection against increasingly complex cyberattacks.
It cannot be ignored that cybersecurity issues are on the rise, especially in Southeast Asia. Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, and the increasing number of cyberattacks on companies in this region emphasizes the importance of investing in reliable cybersecurity.
IDCloudHost and StormWall are collaborating to address these challenges and provide solutions to their customers. The Cloud Expo Asia event was an ideal platform to express their vision and commitment to ensuring secure data and unwavering services for customers in Southeast Asia.

Government agencies, representing 22 percent of total attacks on organizations, and industrial companies at 9 percent, are the most common targets of cyberattacks in Indonesia.
The cybersecurity market in Indonesia is expected to continue growing in the coming years, projected to increase from US$2.05 billion in 2023 to $3.39 billion in 2028. The Indonesian government has introduced new cybersecurity regulations for the financial sector, including banks, insurance companies and other financial service providers. These regulations cover various areas, including risk assessment, risk management, data protection, incident response planning and employee capacity.
