When deciding how to best confront China’s regional cyber capabilities, the US should first assess the state of the Indo-Pacific cyber threat and its allies’ capabilities to protect themselves, stressing resilience and communication. Dr. Williams emphasized that the US should prioritize building allies’ and partners’ cyber capacities by: a) tailoring cyber solutions, b) mobilizing aid and development finance, and c) incentivizing the private sector to assist allies and partners, especially developing Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) states. If ASEAN countries grow economically and industrially, then they will become more capable of financing the growth, development, and training needed for expanding their cyber capacity.
