Cybercrime and Data Protection

With the rapid advancement in technology and the increasing reliance of institutions on digital platforms for transactions and operations, dealing with cybercrime and data protection has become a legal necessity—particularly under Law No. 63 of 2015 on Combating Information Technology Crimes, and in anticipation of an upcoming Personal Data Protection Law in Kuwait.
