With the evolving international situation, particularly the Ukraine crisis, NATO’s strategic focus has accelerated its shift toward the Asia-Pacific and cyberspace. Asia-Pacific countries, such as India, Singapore, and Thailand, also seek to strengthen cooperation with NATO in cybersecurity. At the same time, the Ukraine crisis has played a catalytic role in accelerating the eastward expansion of NATO’s cybersecurity mechanism. The eastward expansion of NATO’s cybersecurity mechanism is an important means for NATO to implement cyber deterrence in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly the strategic containment of China. This has hurt the cybersecurity situation in the Asia-Pacific region and even the world, causing widespread concern in countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region about the deteriorating cybersecurity situation. Inf luenced by multiple factors, the eastward expansion of NATO’s network security mechanism has clear momentum.In the long run, however, the strategic intention of NATO’s eastward expansion does not fully align with the security needs of Asia-Pacific countries, resulting in uncertainty about further development in the future.
