BRICS Nears Historic Agreement to Boost Cybersecurity Cooperation
ALDAR/
The BRICS nations are preparing for a major shift in the realm of cybersecurity, with the group expected to sign its first joint agreement in this field by July.
This move comes in response to growing digital challenges and cross-border cyber threats, prompting BRICS members — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — to intensify their efforts in policy coordination and bolster their defensive capabilities in the digital space.
According to informed sources, the anticipated agreement will focus on information and expertise sharing, establishing frameworks for joint responses to cyberattacks, and coordinating the development of common security standards to protect critical digital infrastructure.
This step is expected to strengthen BRICS’ position as a key force in shaping the global digital order, at a time when major powers are racing to secure their interests in cyberspace amid an escalating struggle for technological and intellectual dominance.
It is worth noting that cybersecurity cooperation has been a prominent topic at previous BRICS summits, though practical steps remained limited until recently. Should the agreement be signed as expected, it would mark a new beginning for a more cohesive strategic partnership among the member states in one of the most sensitive domains of the modern era.
