Legal Settings About Cyber Security in the Era of Globalization

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology in the era of globalization has created a digital space that not only facilitates cross-country interactions, but also presents various serious threats to cybersecurity and human rights protection. Transnational cyber attacks, personal data breaches, and misuse of digital space are new challenges that require adaptive, comprehensive legal responses that are oriented towards protecting citizens' rights. This study aims to analyze how Indonesia's current legal regulations regulate cybersecurity in facing the challenges of globalization, and how to improve the effectiveness of its regulations in ensuring protection of human rights and privacy. The method used is normative legal research, with a legislative and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that Indonesia already has a number of legal instruments that regulate cybersecurity issues, such as the ITE Law, the PDP Law, and the role of the National Cyber ​​and Crypto Agency (BSSN). However, these regulations are still fragmented and inadequate in dealing with complex and cross-border global threats. In addition, protection of human rights, especially the right to privacy and freedom of expression, has not been fully guaranteed effectively in practice. The conclusion of this study confirms that Indonesia needs legal reform through the establishment of a special law on cybersecurity that is comprehensive and has a human rights perspective. In addition, strengthening inter-agency coordination, establishing an independent supervisory authority, and increasing international cooperation are important steps to build a strong and democratic cybersecurity system in the global era.
