Abstract

In the context of today’s rapidly expanding digital frontier, where data transmission speeds have accelerated dramatically, cybercrime tactics are becoming increasingly complex and covert, and relevant laws and regulations urgently need reform and improvement, global cybersecurity governance has emerged as a critical issue concerning the well-being of all humanity. Professor Li Zhi’s academic masterpiece, grounded in rigorous and scientific research methods, offers a comprehensive and profound insight into the vast and complex field of cyberspace. The book systematically examines and compares the legal frameworks, policy practices, and international cooperation mechanisms related to cybersecurity governance in different countries and regions, thereby constructing a detailed and holistic theoretical framework. The author keenly addresses the urgency and complexity of intellectual property protection in the digital age, highlighting that enhancing technical standards is a strategic priority for establishing a solid foundation in safeguarding the legitimacy and quality of digital intellectual property. Overall, this work is ambitious in scope, broad in vision, rich in content, and meticulously argued, providing significant theoretical value and guidance for advancing in-depth research and practical exploration in the field of global cybersecurity governance.
