87% See AI Vulnerabilities as the Fastest-Growing Risk
Jakarta, 6 October 2026 — Rudi Lumanto, Chairman of the ASEAN Japan Cybersecurity Community Alliance (AJCCA), called for stronger regional cyber resilience across ASEAN and Japan during his keynote speech today at the ASOCIO Digital & AI Summit 2026 in Jakarta.
Rudi urges ASEAN–Japan to strengthen collaboration, capacity and connectivity as AI accelerates both digital growth and cyber risk.
Speaking on “Building Regional Cyber Resilience: Collaboration, Capacity, and Connectivity Across ASEAN–Japan,” Rudi highlighted that 87% of surveyed respondents identified AI vulnerabilities as the fastest-growing cybersecurity risk. The presentation also noted that 48% of breaches involved a third party, illustrating how increasingly connected digital ecosystems create shared risks across organizations and borders.
His central message was simple: “Connected economy means connected risk.” As cloud services, AI systems, digital payments, supply chains and critical infrastructure become increasingly interconnected, national cybersecurity alone is no longer enough. Regional resilience is needed to address shared dependencies.
Rudi identified three key foundations for regional resilience: Collaboration, building trusted relationships and joint response mechanisms; Capacity, ensuring people and institutions can respond effectively; and Connectivity, creating reliable channels for sharing warnings, information and assistance.
He also highlighted how AJCCA is putting these principles into practice through its Working Group on Threat Intelligence and Business Matching Program, connecting cybersecurity communities, expertise and solutions across ASEAN and Japan.
The ASOCIO Digital & AI Summit also recognized entrepreneurs and organizations that have successfully applied AI and digital technologies, highlighting practical innovation and business impact.
The 3 days event was attended by senior government and regional leaders, including Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, the Vice Minister of Tourism, representatives of the Ministry of Creative Economy, senior officials from BSSN, as well as chairpersons and leaders of technology associations from across the Asia–Oceania region.
Closing his keynote, Rudi emphasized that cyber resilience is not about preventing every attack, but ensuring that organizations and economies can anticipate, withstand, recover and adapt.
“The goal is not simply to protect individual systems, but to ensure that our region can continue moving forward together.”
