ABSTRACT

This research explores the role of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in resolving cybersecurity and data privacy conflicts. ADR mechanisms such as mediation, arbitration, and negotiation provide efficient, confidential, and cost-effective solutions to disputes arising from cyber incidents. The study examines real-world cases, challenges, and best practices while emphasizing the importance of integrating technical expertise into ADR processes. Recommendations include strengthening legal frameworks, adopting technology-driven ADR solutions, and training professionals to handle complex cybersecurity disputes effectively.
