The National Conference on Cyber Regulation will be held on September 16, and this event could be a turning point in discussions related to the country's cyberspace. The head of the Governance Think Tank at the Research Institute of Culture and Islamic Thought pointed to an important issue during a specialized roundtable at the conference. He said: "The institutional scene of governance in the country's cyberspace is very crowded but still disorganized."
Challenges of Governance in Cyberspace
With the rapid growth of technology and increased use of cyberspace, governance challenges in this area, especially in Iran, have significantly increased. This institutional crowding not only exacerbates existing tensions in macro-level policymaking but also causes confusion among users and creates serious problems in their security and privacy. Many experts believe that disorder in this space can lead to an increase in social harms.
The Necessity of Creating Order in Cyberspace
The head of the Governance Think Tank further pointed to the necessity of establishing a unified order in cyberspace and added: "To solve the existing challenges, we need a comprehensive approach and convergence in policymaking. This conference should be able to pave the way for effective dialogues in this area." He emphasized that without cooperation among various institutions, achieving effective governance in this field is not possible.
The National Conference on Cyber Regulation, with the presence of experts and specialists in this field, is an opportunity to discuss and exchange views on existing challenges and solutions. It is expected that this event will help organize the country's cyberspace and provide innovative solutions to current problems.
