Jakarta, INTI – In today’s increasingly complex digital era, cyber threats such as Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks pose serious risks to business continuity and data security. Addressing this challenge, cybersecurity solution provider StormWall and local cloud service provider IDCloudHost have announced the launch of a new scrubbing center in Jakarta, aimed at strengthening the country's digital infrastructure protection.
Rising Cyber Threats Demand Real Solutions
DDoS attacks have become a common and dangerous tactic in the digital world. By flooding systems with fake traffic, hackers aim to crash services and exploit system vulnerabilities for data theft or manipulation. According to StormWall’s analysis, DDoS attacks in Asia surged by 92 percent throughout 2024, with Indonesia being one of the most targeted countries. One in ten attacks in the Asia-Pacific region was directed at businesses based in Indonesia.
Jakarta as a Strategic Point for Cybersecurity
To counteract these threats, the scrubbing center in Jakarta officially began operations in February 2025, located at the Cyber Building, a vital hub for data exchange and digital infrastructure. This facility functions as a filtering point that stabilizes data traffic before it reaches the end-user systems. Through this technology, malicious traffic can be blocked early without disrupting the core services.
StormWall now operates nine global filtering nodes, with Jakarta becoming a key part of its growing network of protection.
Boosting Indonesia’s Digital Growth
StormWall CEO and Co-founder Ramil Khantimirov sees the scrubbing center as a crucial step to support Indonesia's fast-growing digital economy. He noted that many local companies are seeking robust system protection to thrive amid increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
“We’ve received many requests from Indonesian businesses. That’s why we’re committed to providing real support through our physical presence in Jakarta,” said Khantimirov.
Collaboration for Long-Term Security
This effort is further strengthened by IDCloudHost, which integrates its cloud services with StormWall’s anti-DDoS solutions. CEO of IDCloudHost, Alfian Pamungkas Sakawiguna, emphasized that this synergy reflects a shared commitment to ensuring long-term digital security for businesses across Indonesia.
Positioning Indonesia as a Cybersecurity Hub in Southeast Asia
The presence of the scrubbing center marks a strategic step in establishing Indonesia as a key player in cloud services and cybersecurity within Southeast Asia. This initiative highlights how local-global collaboration can offer tangible solutions to today’s complex cyber threats.
Conclusion:
The launch of the scrubbing center in Jakarta by StormWall and IDCloudHost is a strategic move to address the growing threat of cyberattacks in Indonesia, particularly DDoS attacks. By implementing data traffic filtering technology, businesses can maintain service stability and protect critical data from disruption. This initiative not only strengthens the country’s digital infrastructure but also reinforces Indonesia’s position as a growing hub for cloud services and cybersecurity in Southeast Asia.
