Abstract

Rapid developments in information technology have driven digital transformation in various aspects of life, from the government and economic sectors to social life. Amidst this progress, significant new challenges have also emerged, one of which is the threat to personal data protection and cybersecurity. The misuse of personal data, leaks of sensitive information, and the prevalence of cyber attacks have become urgent legal issues that must be addressed comprehensively. The protection of personal data is no longer merely a technical issue, but has become part of the fulfillment of human rights, particularly the right to privacy and security in digital life. The state, as the legal duty bearer, has the responsibility to formulate and implement adequate regulations to guarantee these rights. In this context, this study aims to examine in depth the urgency of personal data protection and cyber security in the digital era, analyze the effectiveness of existing regulations, and highlight the need to formulate a Cyber Security and Resilience Law as a strategic step to deal with the complexity of digital threats. This study uses a normative juridical method with a legislative and conceptual approach, which is based on a study of written legal norms and a conceptual understanding of the right to privacy, legal protection, and cybersecurity principles. The research data sources consist of primary legal materials such as legislation, as well as secondary legal materials in the form of legal literature, academic journals, and opinions from legal experts. With this framework, this research is expected to contribute theoretically to strengthening the legal basis for data protection and cybersecurity in Indonesia.
