The rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has transformed social, economic, and political interactions in Indonesia while increasing the risks of cybercrime. This study analyzes the legal politics in addressing cybercrime to support national security stability, focusing on regulations such as the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the Personal Data Protection Law. A normative-descriptive method was employed through the review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. The findings indicate that despite existing regulations, their effectiveness remains limited due to human resource constraints, inter-agency coordination challenges, and rapidly evolving technology. Legal politics must be preventive, repressive, collaborative, and adaptive to build resilient national cyber security.
