Conference Concept Note

‍

As more people gain access to digital networks, aided by reduced data pricing, they are simultaneously exposed to a rising risk of cyber threats. The unprecedented interconnectedness of today’s world is challenging governments to secure their digital spaces—a task made complex by the inherent borderless nature of cyberspace. With technology advancing rapidly, governments worldwide are devising and debating approaches to enhance cybersecurity measures and regulate cyberspace effectively. This area of study is gaining momentum in academia, particularly in understanding the dynamics of cybersecurity in the realm of international relations, where nations interact, collaborate, and sometimes contend within the cyber domain. This field presents vast opportunities and urgent challenges, demanding in-depth research and discussion.
