Understanding cybersecurity in the Cultural Heritage domain and addressing the evolving threats to digital libraries has become an imperative for their sustainability and reliability. This article explores the complex landscape of digital library cybersecurity, identifying key challenges and vulnerabilities while presenting strategies to protect digital repositories and safeguard user privacy.
