Abstract

In the modern world, cyberspace has become one of the most important components of state security. The rapid development of information technologies, the digital transformation of the state and private sectors, and the increase in cyber attacks increase the need for an effective cybersecurity policy. Georgia, as a developing democratic state and an active participant in regional cooperation, pays special attention to strengthening the cybersecurity system and bringing it closer to international standards.

Georgia's cybersecurity policy is based on the National Security Strategy and a special legislative and institutional framework aimed at protecting critical infrastructure, ensuring the security of information systems of state agencies, and responding quickly to cyber incidents. In this direction, the country has created relevant agencies and mechanisms that ensure monitoring, prevention, and cooperation both domestically and internationally.

The prospects for policy implementation depend significantly on the development of technological capabilities, the training of qualified personnel, raising public awareness, and deepening cooperation with international partners. Coordination between the public and private sectors, the formation of a cybersecurity culture, and the introduction of modern technologies are especially important.

Ultimately, the successful implementation of Georgia's cybersecurity policy will contribute to strengthening the country's national security, ensuring economic stability, and increasing the trustworthiness of the digital environment. Despite the existing challenges, with the right strategic approaches and international experience sharing, Georgia has a real opportunity to develop a sustainable and effective cybersecurity system.
