Abstract

The rapid growth of Big Data has transformed various industries, but it also brings major privacy risks that threaten public safety and citizens' rights. This paper looks at the different aspects of Big Data privacy breaches in Pakistan and explores both legal and technological solutions to address these risks. We discuss the current legal framework, security tools like encryption and privacy protection methods, and emerging trends in data security. The study highlights the need for a combined approach that includes policy changes and advanced security technologies to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and cyberattacks. The findings stress the importance of strengthening data privacy laws in Pakistan to ensure public safety and maintain trust in digital platforms.
