The session was led by Assistant Lecturer <strong>Rami Qusay Aboud<\/strong> and attended by several researchers from the department.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop explored the growing cybersecurity threats Iraq faces in the context of rapid technological change and the expanding use of artificial intelligence. Aboud emphasized that Iraq\u2019s current legal framework lacks the strength needed to address these challenges. He also noted that the absence of strong e-governance systems has made both individuals and institutions more vulnerable to cyberattacks\u2014leading to potential privacy violations, data leaks, and the exploitation of national infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Participants discussed the need for a <strong>comprehensive national cybersecurity strategy<\/strong>, highlighting the role of both legislative and executive bodies in building a secure digital environment. The conversation also stressed the importance of raising public awareness about cybersecurity across government agencies, private institutions, and the wider public.<\/p>\n<p>Among those attending were Professor Dr. Mufid Qasid Yasser, head of the department, <strong>Dr. Khalaf Latif Ali<\/strong>, and other scholars affiliated with the center.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop concluded with recommendations calling for the passage of stronger cybersecurity laws and greater collaboration with international experts and organizations. These steps, participants agreed, are essential to safeguarding Iraq\u2019s digital sovereignty.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt alignnone size-medium wp-image-762\" src=\"https:\/\/en.cis.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/05\/\u062a\u062d\u062f\u064a\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0628\u0631\u0627\u0646\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0627\u0642-\u0648\u0631\u0634\u0629-\u0631\u0627\u0645\u064a-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.cis.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/05\/\u062a\u062d\u062f\u064a\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0628\u0631\u0627\u0646\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0627\u0642-\u0648\u0631\u0634\u0629-\u0631\u0627\u0645\u064a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.cis.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/05\/\u062a\u062d\u062f\u064a\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0628\u0631\u0627\u0646\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0627\u0642-\u0648\u0631\u0634\u0629-\u0631\u0627\u0645\u064a-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/en.cis.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/05\/\u062a\u062d\u062f\u064a\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0628\u0631\u0627\u0646\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0627\u0642-\u0648\u0631\u0634\u0629-\u0631\u0627\u0645\u064a-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en.cis.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/05\/\u062a\u062d\u062f\u064a\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0628\u0631\u0627\u0646\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0627\u0642-\u0648\u0631\u0634\u0629-\u0631\u0627\u0645\u064a-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/en.cis.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2025\/05\/\u062a\u062d\u062f\u064a\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0646-\u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0628\u0631\u0627\u0646\u064a-\u0641\u064a-\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0627\u0642-\u0648\u0631\u0634\u0629-\u0631\u0627\u0645\u064a.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Center for Strategic and International Studies recently hosted a workshop titled \u201cCybersecurity Challenges in Iraq,\u201d organized by the Department &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":762,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
