Network security challenges are a critical issue that will continue to grow, especially with technological advances leading to the Internet of Things. Cybersecurity knowledge and skills are essential to addressing these challenges. Therefore, the Cisco Indonesia Networking Academy Conference is held as a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas on the latest issues in information security.

This event raised global issues about Industry 4.0 and the changing paradigm of education in the Industry 4.0 era, so that educational institutions in Indonesia must prepare themselves for the Education 4.0 era.
