History

Historical Context

In 2015, ASEAN adopted the ASEAN Cybersecurity Cooperation Strategy to enhance regional collaboration against rising cyber threats. This initiative reflects the organization's broader commitment to cooperative security, established in the 2008 ASEAN Charter, which aims to foster peace and stability among member states. However, ongoing vulnerabilities, highlighted by the absence of unified efforts like Anthropic's Project Glasswing, underscore the need for stronger frameworks such as a Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT).
