This research is motivated by the transformation of defense threats from conventional patterns to cyber threats that are asymmetric, cross-border, and strategically impactful on national air defense systems. The reliance of Koopsudnas on information systems has increased significantly in parallel with the digitization of command, control, communication, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) functions. The main problem addressed in this study is how to formulate a strategy to enhance the performance of cybersecurity systems through the Information Security Management System (ISMS) approach in order to strengthen national air defense and airspace sovereignty. This research aims to analyze the existing condition of cybersecurity within Koopsudnas, identify the level of cybersecurity maturity based on the Cyber Security Maturity Instrument (IKAS), and develop strategic recommendations integrated with defense policy. The study employs a policy research approach with a case study design and qualitative descriptive analysis using the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle. The findings indicate that, while the cybersecurity system at Koopsudnas has established organizational structures and security mechanisms, it still requires strengthening in governance, policy integration, risk management, human resource capacity development, as well as optimization of internal controls and ISMS-based auditing. The formulated strategy emphasizes the integration of ISMS into the national air defense system, the strengthening of regulatory frameworks and information security culture, and enhanced inter-agency synergy to build adaptive and sustainable cyber resilience. This study concludes that strengthening cybersecurity constitutes a strategic defense policy instrument for upholding and maintaining national airspace sovereignty in the digital era.
