Securing Digital Governance: Privacy, Cybersecurity, and Sovereignty for the Future
Privacy, cybersecurity, and digital sovereignty are increasingly important topics in digital governance. For example, with more affordable technologies for handling significant volumes of data being available, government organisations worldwide are striving for more data-driven operations. Data from various types of digital infrastructure (such as IoTs), as well as data on citizens and their behaviours, is sometimes discussed in terms of being the “new oil” in society. With this kind of data, new and improved public services can potentially be created. However, increased use and manipulation of various data types also bring critical challenges, including ethics-related questions regarding citizens’ right to privacy, national and regional control over critical data infrastructure, systems resilience, and information security.
