This article examines the impact of cybersecurity cooperation between the two countries in improving Indonesia's capacity to deal with cyber threats. Through a qualitative approach, it explores the various initiatives that have been

implemented, including training programs, information exchange, and joint policy development to improve Indonesia's cyber resilience. It found that this cooperation not only strengthens the technical aspects but also facilitates the formation of more holistic policies in addressing cyber challenges. The article also discusses the obstacles faced in this collaboration, including differences in infrastructure, human resource capacity, and political and legal aspects that may affect the effectiveness of this collaboration. Finally, the article offers strategic recommendations for both countries to strengthen their cooperation, with a focus on strengthening Indonesia's national capacity and integrating cybersecurity policies at the international level.
