The Fourth Industrial Revolution has transformed the landscape of state governance, the economy, and national defense through the convergence of cyber-physical technologies, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data interconnected within a single digital ecosystem. This transformation brings significant opportunities for bureaucratic efficiency and digital economic growth, but simultaneously expands the attack surface, threatening vital information infrastructure, citizens' personal data, and the stability of government systems. This article aims to analyze the position of cybersecurity law as a normative instrument in building national digital resilience amidst the disruptions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, focusing on the Indonesian legal framework in comparison with regulatory practices in the European Union, the United States, and several other developing countries. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a comparative legal approach, supported by a literature review of laws and regulations, recent scientific journals, and official policy documents of state institutions. The research results show that Indonesia's cybersecurity legal framework, consisting of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, the Personal Data Protection Law, the Presidential Regulation on the Protection of Vital Information Infrastructure, and the Draft Cyber Security and Resilience Law, is still sectoral, responsive, and not fully oriented towards systemic resilience as mandated by the resilience-by-design paradigm in European Union regulations. This article recommends a reorientation of the legal paradigm from a repressive approach based on criminal prosecution to a preventive-adaptive approach that integrates cyber risk management, mandatory incident reporting, standardization of digital product security, and strengthening the institutional capacity of the National Cyber and Crypto Agency, as a legal foundation for sustainable national digital resilience.
