The rapid development of modern digital technologies has radically changed the global security paradigm. Artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G connectivity, and cloud infrastructure create new opportunities, but at the same time increase the complexity and threats of cybersecurity. Along with these technologies, the scale, complexity, and potential for covert impact of cyberattacks on both the public and private sectors are increasing. Critical infrastructures, government agencies, and databases, whose security is directly related to national and international stability, are particularly at risk. The presented paper aims to analyze the main cybersecurity challenges associated with emerging digital technologies. The study is based on case studies, international practice, and modern strategic approaches. Special attention is paid to the concept of cyber resilience, incident response mechanisms, and multi-level coordination. The paper highlights the need for integrated policies, digital solidarity, and technological sovereignty. The abstract reflects the interdisciplinary nature of cybersecurity and emphasizes the need for continuous improvement of prevention, response, and recovery processes in the context of technological progress.
