The objective of the National Training Course on Computer Security in Facilities for Strengthening Nuclear Security is to provide an in-depth understanding of the concepts and principles of computer security for nuclear security, familiarizing participants with the key elements of IAEA Nuclear Security Series No. 17 T and No. 17 T. 42-G, which serves as a comprehensive guide for establishing effective security measures for computer security in nuclear facilities, facilitates knowledge sharing and networking among computer security professionals for nuclear security and empowers participants to develop and implement computer security measures within their respective national institutions in accordance with international standards and best practices. Twenty-five participants from BAPETEN, IT PLN, BRIN, and BIN attended the event.

The event was attended by Ryan Beeby from Finland, also representing the IAEA; Yannick Reboul from France; Jeong-Ho Lee from KINAC, South Korea; and Najat Bahije from Agence Marocaine de Sûreté et de Sécurité Nucléaires et Radiologiques, Morocco. In his opening remarks, Ahmad Ciptadi Syuryavin, Head of the BAPETEN Education and Training Division (BDL), stated, "The organization of this event demonstrates our core commitment to further strengthening the security of nuclear and other radioactive materials. In doing so, we can assure the public that we have adequately met our national nuclear security objectives, namely, to protect people, property, communities, and the environment from the harmful consequences of nuclear security incidents."

Following the remarks, the Acting Chairman of BAPETEN, Sugeng Sumbarjo, stated, "Computer security is crucial to nuclear security. Nuclear facilities rely on a combination of computer-based and conventional systems to control and monitor their operations. Consequently, these systems are also vulnerable to cyberattacks. Therefore, given the high security standards established for nuclear security within the facilities, computer security has become a critical issue that must be addressed."

The event continued with presentations and discussions. It is aimed that this event will improve compliance with international standards and obligations, contribute to global efforts to prevent cyberattacks, and ensure the safe use of nuclear and radioactive materials. This training course serves as an important step to strengthen national and international security by equipping individuals and organizations in Indonesia with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage the growing risks associated with computer security.
