    Ethiopia's ability to secure its cyberspace is essential to its strategic pursuit of opportunities in the digital world because, in addition to endangering national sovereignty, a lack of cyber protection will also jeopardize the enormous potential that comes with digital engagement .This study analyze Ethiopia's vulnerabilities to cybersecurity and how they can affect the state sovereignty. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study draws on data from key informant interviews and existing literature. The finding highlighted that Ethiopia's increasing dependence on the digital realm poses a direct challenge to its national sovereignty, largely due to a fragile cybersecurity framework stemming from obsolete technology, insufficient skilled personnel, and inadequate inter-agency collaboration. The nation's weaknesses go beyond simple data breaches, encompassing threats to essential infrastructure and the potential for foreign interference. The study concludes that in order to safeguard its digital future, Ethiopia must promptly implement a strategic and all-encompassing approach, which includes enforcing a national cybersecurity policy, investing in technological advancements and public awareness initiatives, and enhancing its international collaborations to address global cyber threats.
