Abstract

Cyber security and legal frameworks
Cybersecurity, Legal framework, Regulatory compliance, Cyber policy, National security, International cooperation.
Nigeria's cybersecurity landscape is a pressing concern, with significant implications for national security and economic stability. This study provides an in-depth analysis of the intersection of Nigeria's cyber policy and national security, focusing on international cooperation, legal frameworks, and regulatory compliance. The country's increasing reliance on digital technologies has exposed it to a range of cyber threats, including AI-driven phishing, ransomware attacks, and data breaches, resulting in estimated losses of $500 million (N250 billion) in the last two years. The study examines Nigeria's efforts to combat cyber threats, protect critical infrastructure, and promote a secure digital environment. The National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy (NCPS) and the Cybercrime Prevention Act are key initiatives, but gaps in legislative frameworks, insufficient public awareness, and inadequate infrastructure hinder their effectiveness. This research highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity measures, effective law enforcement, and public-private partnerships in safeguarding national interests. It identifies key threats, including AI-driven phishing (increased by over 70%), ransomware attacks (12-15% of incidents), and data breaches (government systems accounted for 8-10% of incidents). The study offers insights into the challenges and opportunities in enhancing cybersecurity and promoting national security in the digital age. It recommends capacity building, research and development, and public awareness to mitigate cyber risks and ensure economic stability. International cooperation, leveraging emerging technologies, and regulatory compliance are also crucial for protecting Nigeria's critical infrastructure and promoting a secure digital environme
