Abstract: The digital transformation of public administration generates major opportunities for efficiency, transparency, and proximity to citizens. However, this process is accompanied by increased exposure to cyber risks, which can affect not only IT infrastructures but also public trust in state institutions. This paper analyzes the interdependence between digitalization and cybersecurity, highlighting the role of strategic management in data protection and ensuring the continuity of public services. Through an integrated approach – which combines the European and national legislative frameworks, security technologies, inter-institutional cooperation, and human resource training – public administration can build digital resilience and strengthen citizens' trust. The conclusions emphasize that cybersecurity is not a secondary element of digitalization, but the foundation on which it rests.
