This study aims to analyze the efforts and effectiveness of enhancing Human Resources (HR) capacity in Indonesian cybersecurity during the 2020–2024 period, in response to the surge and complexity of cyber threats. Based on data from the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), the number of cyber incidents has continued to rise sharply, a situation closely linked to the availability of competent cybersecurity human resources. The research method used is qualitative analysis and data from various literature reviews. The results indicate that although there are existing plans for Human Resources (HR) capacity development, the quantity of trained cybersecurity HR remains low, especially in advanced specialization fields such as threat intelligence, forensics, and cloud security. Furthermore, cybersecurity technologies often lag behind the latest technological advancements and emerging types of threats. The main recommendations of this study include increasing national cybersecurity HR capacity and enhancing sustainable and structured collaboration among BSSN, the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Industry, and the cyber community to strengthen national cyber resilience.
