Abstract

This paper discusses how Electronic Administration (E-Administration) can help to curb and prevent cyber and technological crimes in the security institutions in Sulaymaniyah city. As the digital technologies and online services continue to spread at a high rate, cybercrimes including electronic frauds, hacking, and cyber-extortion have grown to a great extent, becoming a serious threat to the security of institutions and the safety of the population. Thus, the implementation of efficient electronic administrative systems and cybersecurity policies has become a necessity in fighting these threats.

The research was carried out in the form of a descriptive-analytical study and the main data collection method was the structured questionnaire. A random sample of 67 managers, officials, and employees who work in security institutions in Sulaymaniyah were given the questionnaire, and 57 valid responses were collected and analyzed. The data obtained were evaluated with the help of various statistical methods, such as frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, Pearson correlation analysis, and simple linear regression to investigate the connections and impact of the study variables.

The findings showed that there are a considerable positive correlation and impact between electronic administration and reduction of cyber and technological crimes. Specifically, technological infrastructure, cybersecurity practices, and electronic operations management were identified to be important in enhancing institutional security and minimizing vulnerabilities that can culminate into cybercrimes. The paper ends by providing a number of recommendations on how to improve digital infrastructure, improve cybersecurity policies, offer continuous employee training, and enhance institutional awareness to be effective in combating cyber threats
