Comprehensive review of emerging cybersecurity trends and developments

Pakistan views cyberspace as a critical source of power in the twenty-first century when governments no longer have complete control over power games. Private entities, terrorist groups, criminals, and people, on the other hand, are prominent players in cyberspace, offering unpredictable and multifaceted cyber risks to sensitive networks and infrastructure. National security currently necessitates the use of both classic and non-traditional approaches, as well as partnerships between the public and private sectors. Furthermore, the evolving power landscape in cyberspace necessitates the adaptation of theoretical approaches to international relations. Pakistan's increased reliance on cyberspace heightens concerns for global private and government entities' vulnerability to cyberattacks, especially with the surge in wireless communication technology usage. Preventing damage from cyberattacks requires comprehensive measures that include emerging trends, standard security frameworks, and recent developments. As such, this study aims to provide cybersecurity and IT researchers worldwide with an invaluable resource for addressing cyber threats.
