Abstract

This article explores the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in enhancing cybersecurity as a component of sustainable and resilient development. It argues that cybersecurity is not only vital for digital transformation and economic growth but also closely aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly through its emphasis on resilient infrastructure. The paper offers a legal and policy-oriented analysis of how PPPs can strengthen cybersecurity capabilities by leveraging the combined resources and expertise of governments, businesses, and civil society. The Polish case is also studied and analysed through “PW Cyber" program which exemplifies a local cybersecurity PPP model. The article highlights both the potential and limitations of PPPs in cybersecurity, acknowledging tensions between public accountability and private interests. It concludes that well-structured PPPs can support state capacity and digital security, while contributing to broader sustainability and resilience objectives in the digital age.
