Abstract
Cybersecurity has become one of the most critical issues in our contemporary life due to its direct connection with various sectors of public life, such as politics, economy, security, culture, and others. Most countries rely on cybersecurity to protect their official and non-official institutions, especially their infrastructure. Focusing on cybersecurity and addressing vulnerabilities has become one of the top priorities for national security in any country.
Iraq’s national security suffers from major crises, some stemming from new technological transformations, creating additional security, economic, and social burdens. Cybersecurity has emerged as a modern and vital element of Iraq’s national security framework.
The most dangerous aspect of cyber threats is that they represent invisible challenges. In the age of advanced technology, information security plays a crucial role in preventing and countering cyberattacks. Iraq, especially since 2003, due to increased global connectivity and technical advancements, has become more exposed to cyberattacks and security challenges threatening its national security.
