Abstract

The internet network necessitates the transformation of cyberspace with systematic and integrated implications, directly proportional to its utilization level. Handling cyber incidents in Indonesia becomes a strategic impediment for non-military intelligence in the national security framework. Therefore, it is critically important to strengthen non-military intelligence organizations in detecting cyber threats. The research aims to analyze the management of Indonesian non-military Intelligence Community (IC) in detecting cyber threats. Moreover, the research method employed is qualitative, utilizing an analytical descriptive research design. Data collection is conducted through interviews, documentation, and literacy studies. The collected data is then analyzed using an interactive analysis model. Subsequently, the research findings indicate that cyber threats are evolving and have technical implications for cyber-security systems and non-technical implications to national security. To detect cyber threats, Indonesian non-military Intelligence Community (IC) implements strategic measures in their intelligence security function, which involves coordinating and organizing management and utilizing technology. The security functions have not been optimally implemented, hindering efforts to detect the evolution of future threats. Summing up, the management of non-military intelligence organizations in Indonesia faces challenges in strengthening security against cyber threats, but there are still challenges and obstacles that must be faced. The researcher recommends that the study's results have the theoretical value for the study of state intelligence regulatory systems, the formulation of non-military intelligence fusion, and cyber-infrastructure in the future, meanwhile, the practical value lies in its potential to assist non-military intelligence stakeholders in fulfilling qualified cyber human resources, ratifying cyber-security regulations, and developing cyber-intelligence equipment technology.
