Abstract

As digital markets expand globally, the intersection of cybersecurity and international trade law poses significant challenges for compliance and enforcement. This article explores the evolving landscape of cybersecurity regulations, utilizing qualitative methods to analyze case studies from multiple jurisdictions. Through extensive legal analysis and interviews with industry experts, we identify common pitfalls in regulatory frameworks that lead to non-compliance. Our findings reveal a staggering 43% of businesses face substantial legal risks due to inadequate adherence to international cybersecurity standards. The results underscore the necessity for harmonized regulations that enhance compliance while fostering international trade. By delineating these challenges, this study contributes to the discourse on effective legal frameworks capable of safeguarding trade interests within the burgeoning digital economy.
