Labuan Bajo, E Nusa Tenggara (ANTARA) - State-owned telecommunications enterprise PT Telkom Indonesia has prepared several mitigation measures against likely attacks and threats on telecommunication networks during the 42nd ASEAN Summit in Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara.
"The first measure is capacity, then after it is deemed adequate, we will proceed to take diversity and security measures," Herlan Wijanarko, Director of Network and IT Solution from PT Telkom Indonesia, stated in West Manggarai, Wednesday.

According to Wijanarko, Telkom is also providing a reporting system available for 24 hours a week and will be monitored through dashboard and application.
"As of today, we have detected around 600 thousand threats," he remarked.
Telkom Group affirmed that all preparations for the summit were complete while adding that it has also boosted the quality and capacity of several Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) in Labuan Bajo, not to mention transportation required for the second and main route feeder network.
"Overall, we are 100 percent ready. Now, it is only a matter of integrating our services with the venues where the event will take place," he affirmed.
