Abstract
Cyber space is increasingly playing an important role in the global world, affecting the pattern of relations between countries. The issue of non-traditional security threats is shifting towards the threat typology associated with cyber space. The concept of national security began to be complemented by a national cyber security strategy to support the security of its national interests, one of which was in the field of foreign trade. Where the country needs to ensure the security of cyber ecosystems to ensure the smooth flow of goods in order to maintain national economic stability. The large flow of goods in and out of a country makes the flow of data and information increasingly large and complex, and brings hidden costs in the form of cyber security threats. Cyber security concepts that are considered not responsive and resilient in dealing with and overcoming cyber attacks can occur at any time with patterns and types that continue to evolve. Cyber security gaps that are only able to respond during cyber attacks are not able to overcome the pattern and type of attack in the future in an anticipatory manner. The concept of cyber security should begin to be developed into cyber security that has patterns of recovery, adaptation, and evolution so as to be able to answer the dynamics of challenges in international trade. Interrupted cyber systems in international trade will potentially cause disruption of international relations because the threat of losses caused not only affects one country. The increasingly complex international trade context and involving big data should be one of the top priorities for cyber resilience strategies. This paper starts by explaining the state of play of cyber resilience in international relations and trade law. Next, analysis why the concept of cyber resilience in the perspective of international relations and trade law needs to be revised to face challenges in the digital economy. The specific reference in this study is ASEAN plus Six countries.
