Public-Private Partnerships in Cybersecurity: A Strategic Approach to National Threat Management

Abstract

With the rapidly evolving profile of cyber threats, achieving national cybersecurity can no longer be solely the state's responsibility. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have become the key mechanism for bridging the capability, intelligence, and response gap between governments and private sector actors, who wield immense influence over strategic national infrastructure. Drawing on an international case study and Comparative public policy model analysis. This research examines the strategic utility of PPPs for the management of national threats. It critically examines the structural, legal, and operational barriers to effective collaboration and sets out a governance model—S.A.G.E.™—created to institutionalize PPPs for the achievement of long-term resilience. Based on the analysis of the United States, the European Union, India, Israel, and Singapore, this paper illustrates How cooperative management of cybersecurity enhances national security, enhances threat information sharing and supports a multi-layered defense strategy. This paper finds that coordinated policy approaches, joint Responsibility, and secure engagement frameworks are central to developing. Effective public-private partnerships for the cyber era.
