Abstract
The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) has evolved into a strategic partnership addressing Indo-Pacific security challenges. The Quad Leaders’ Summit in May 2023 reaffirmed the commitment of the United States, Japan, India, and Australia to regional resilience and prosperity, focusing on critical areas, including sustainable energy, infrastructure, telecommunications, and cybersecurity.
This paper thoroughly examines the cyber threats confronting Quad member states, providing a detailed analysis of notable state-sponsored attacks and their ramifications. It further explores the dynamics of resource sharing and collaborative agreements within the Quad framework, highlighting its potential to emerge as a robust platform for security dialogue. The paper focuses on the collective security arrangements in the Indo-Pacific, offering insights into the intersection of cybersecurity, geopolitics, and international relations in an increasingly digital world.
