ASEAN Japan Cybersecurity Community Alliance

What ASEAN Japan Cybersecurity Community Alliance does

ASEAN Japan Cybersecurity Community Alliance (AJCCA) is a non-profit consortium of cybersecurity communities from all ten ASEAN member states (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) plus Japan. Founded in October 2023 at the AJCCA Tokyo Conference and chaired by Dr. Rudi Lumanto of Indonesia, the alliance operates as a regional coordination layer for cross-border threat intelligence sharing, policy dialogue, and capacity building among national cybersecurity communities, CERTs, and government agencies.

AJCCA's core offerings span three pillars: (1) Publications — including the Annual Threat Intelligence Report, monthly CTI reports distributed to all member communities and ASEAN official stakeholders, quarterly reports, CISO Handbook, and incident loss investigation reports; (2) Programs — including the annual IC-AJCC conference, ACRA cyber resilience awards (19 individual awardees in 2024, country champions in 2025), the CyberWar Game Competition (ASCIS, bug bounties), the Threat Intelligence Sharing Working Group, and the Sharing & Caring Program; and (3) Open-source tools — including DSIEM security monitoring, Mata Elang (developed with IdCARE Indonesia), and ADIC mobile forensics. Member communities include PH-CERT, JNSA, AiSP, IdNSA, TISA, NCA Vietnam, BCSA Brunei, RawSec Malaysia, and others.

The alliance does not charge fees for membership or participation and operates as a community-funded initiative with 1-10 staff and a volunteer board. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; activities are sustained through member community contributions, government partnerships, and event collaborations. Strategic global partnerships with ASOCIO, SEA-CC, IdCARE, CyberSecurity Malaysia, and PIKOM extend reach across 24+ Asia-Pacific economies, with the ASOCIO Special Contribution Award 2025 and consecutive ACRA programs anchoring regional credibility.

Core offering

ASEAN Japan Cybersecurity Community Alliance (AJCCA) is a non-profit consortium of ten national cybersecurity communities from ASEAN member states plus Japan. The alliance facilitates cross-border threat intelligence sharing, joint capacity building, and regional cybersecurity collaboration through quarterly working group meetings, an annual conference (IC-AJCC), the ACRA Cyber Resilience Awards program, monthly and annual threat intelligence reports, and open-source security tools (DSIEM, Mata Elang, ADIC). All services are provided free of charge to member communities and ASEAN stakeholders.

Product overview

AJCCA is a regional cybersecurity alliance (consortium) rather than a traditional product company. It comprises ten cybersecurity communities from ASEAN nations and Japan, united to enhance cybersecurity capabilities through information sharing and mutual support. The alliance operates through three main service pillars: (1) Publications including annual threat intelligence reports, quarterly reports, annual reports, incident investigation reports, and the CISO Handbook; (2) Awareness Materials including translated manga comics and educational videos; and (3) Open-source Tools including DSIEM and Mata Elang for security monitoring, and ADIC for mobile forensics. AJCCA also runs programs including the Annual IC-AJCC Conference, Cyber Resilience Awards (ACRA), Cyberwar Game competitions, and the Threat Intelligence Sharing Working Group. All services are provided free to the community to strengthen regional cyber ecosystems.

Broad incumbents

• CyberSecurity Malaysia: CyberSecurity Malaysia is the national cybersecurity specialist agency that AJCCA partners with for threat intelligence and capacity building. As a government-affiliated incumbent, it provides a parallel coordination function but at a national rather than regional community-led level.
• FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams): FIRST is the premier global forum for incident response and security teams. While global in scope, FIRST shares AJCCA's core mission of cross-organization threat intelligence sharing, training, and standards development, and represents the institutional incumbent in AJCCA's target domain.
• APCERT (Asia Pacific Computer Emergency Response Team): APCERT is the established regional body coordinating CERTs across the Asia Pacific. AJCCA's member communities largely overlap with APCERT's national CERTs, but APCERT operates at a broader, more institutional level focused on incident response rather than community building.

Direct peers

• PIKOM (Malaysia's National Technology Association): PIKOM is AJCCA's newest partner and Malaysia's national ICT industry association. Both serve as industry membership bodies delivering cybersecurity programs, training, and policy advocacy, and now formally collaborate under a February 2026 MoU.
• IdCARE (Indonesia Cyber Awareness and Resilience Center): IdCARE is AJCCA's core Indonesian partner and the developer of the Mata Elang open-source security monitoring tool distributed via AJCCA services. Both operate as non-profit cybersecurity capacity-building organizations with shared awareness and tooling missions.
• ASOCIO (Asian-Oceanian Computing Industry Organization): ASOCIO is the parent of AJCCA's flagship partnership, a regional ICT industry association covering 24 economies and 20,000+ companies. Both are Asia-Pacific consortium/alliance models organizing cross-border collaboration and information sharing across multiple country chapters.
• SEA-CC (South East Cybersecurity Consortium): SEA-CC is a direct peer consortium of Southeast Asian cybersecurity communities with which AJCCA signed an MoU in October 2024. Both organizations pursue regional cybersecurity coordination, joint webinars, and capacity-building programs across overlapping geographies.
• JNSA (Japan Network Security Association): JNSA is both AJCCA's Japan member community and an independent association. It organizes the AJCCA conferences and produces the alliance's publications, making it a structural peer in delivering cybersecurity community services, training, and awareness materials across Japan.

Emerging players

• Global Cyber Alliance (GCA): GCA is an international non-profit pursuing cross-sector cyber risk reduction through tool deployment and partnership networks. It represents an analogous non-profit model to AJCCA but operates globally and focuses on practical tool deployment rather than community intelligence sharing.

Regional players

• OAS CICTE (Inter-American Committee against Terrorism Cybersecurity): OAS CICTE coordinates cybersecurity capacity building across the Americas via a regional intergovernmental model analogous to AJCCA's cross-border community consortium approach. While geographically distinct, it represents the closest structural analog in the Western Hemisphere.
