Abstract
In an era of rapid technological advancement, cybersecurity policy plays a crucial role in safeguarding digital infrastructure and national security. This paper examines the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, and the regulatory challenges faced by policymakers in addressing these emerging risks. Key themes explored include the proliferation of sophisticated cyber attacks, the limitations of current regulatory frameworks, and the urgent need for adaptive policy measures. By analyzing recent trends, case studies, and international approaches, this research aims to provide insights and recommendations for enhancing cybersecurity resilience in the face of modern threats.
