"We are asking for suggestion from the ministry of communications and informatics, which is the one that has the capacity to develop Cyber Security," Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said after a meeting with Communications and Informatics Minister Tifatul Sembiring, here on Tuesday.

Development of the cyber defense system would also involve the three services -- the army, navy and air force, Purnomo said. The communications and informatics ministry would help in providing management system, infrastructure, equipment and human resources, he said.

He said there at current psition had been no serious threat to the state sovereignty through cyber crime. "There has been threat of cyber crime but not to the state defense. However, we need to remain on guard," he said.

Tifatul Sembiring said attacks on cyber world had been growing in the past three years. He said there were 36.6 million times of attacks on Indonesia, mainly on its economy.

"We need to coordinate with other ministries and government agencies to better improve our cyber security," he said.
