Opportunities to enhance Indonesian cyber security through theater security cooperation

Abstract

The emergence of cyberspace as a global commons presents significant challenges for the Republic of Indonesia (ROI). With widespread cyber threats on the rise, opportunities exist to develop a bilateral partnership between the US Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) and the ROI to address these challenges under the auspices of theater security cooperation. Available security cooperation tools include military-to-military engagements through personnel exchanges, combined exercises, joint interagency training, and expanded use of the National Guard State Partnership Program (SPP). Maximizing these efforts could have a long-term, positive impact on the development of the Tentara Nasional Indonesia's (TNI) nascent cyber-defense force and pay dividends in the regional collective security of Southeast Asia.
