Digital Literacy, Cyber Security and Sustainable Economic Development: Implications for Education and Governance

Abstract

This study examined the interrelationship between digital literacy, cybersecurity, and sustainable development, with emphasis on their implications for education and governance. In the context of rapid digital transformation, the effective use of digital technologies has become essential for socio-economic growth and democratic governance. Digital literacy enables individuals and institutions to participate productively in the digital economy, while cybersecurity safeguards digital infrastructure, data, and institutional integrity. Sustainable development increasingly depends on the safe, inclusive, and responsible use of information and communication technologies (ICTs).
