Summary/Abstract: The ongoing process of increasing digitalization of life in Southeast Asia brings new challenges for local integration centred around the ASEAN organization. Its countries face new type of problems related to the question of adoption a coherent approach to cyberthreats and elimination of so-called digital gap between them. ASEAN’s leaders traditionally perceive cyberspace as a tool of continuous development of common market and ASEAN economy. Therefore, most of the group’s current activities, which are initiated at the community level, aims at protecting and bolstering this area. The article presents institutional and law mechanisms incorporated so far by ASEAN to create basis of common cybersecurity policy within organization. This process is growing slowly, but gradually and carrying on regardless of the diverse technological capacities between countries, their available resources or different priorities towards cybersecurity policy.
