Under the 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy, the Australian Government is committed to providing targeted, impactful and sustainable capacity building initiatives for enduring cyber resilience in the Indo-Pacific and ensuring Australia is the partner of choice in the region.

The Southeast Asia and Pacific Cyber Program (SEA-PAC Cyber) supports a cyber resilient region through:

• enhancing cyber security and critical technology capabilities
• strengthening cyber incident preparedness and response
• supporting development of national and regional cyber policies, norms, standards, laws and regulations to reflect an open, free and secure cyber.

Since 2016, over $48 million has been invested in Southeast Asia through SEA-PAC Cyber and its predecessor, the Cyber and Critical Tech Cooperation Program (CCTCP), delivering more than 100 regional and country-specific initiatives across nine ODA countries.

In 2025 and 2026, SEA-PAC Cyber also delivered 12 country-specific and regional cyber resilience-building training workshops on cyber incident preparedness and response to Southeast Asian countries.
