Features : Elevate Cybersecurity to National Security Priority – Experts

Cybersecurity can no longer be viewed merely as an information technology (IT) concern but must instead be treated as a national security priority, given the threats posed by data breaches, online scams and system intrusions that could undermine strategic interests and public trust in government institutions.

The rapid advancement of digital technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), has also transformed the threat landscape, giving cybercriminals more opportunities to deceive users, steal information and exploit vulnerabilities in communication systems.

As government administration, financial transactions, public services and everyday communication increasingly rely on the Internet, weaknesses in data protection can result not only in financial losses for individuals and organisations but also expose the country to broader national security threats.
