This article proposes an in-depth reflection on contemporary cybersecurity, focusing on the role of algorithmic intelligence and its influence on individuals’ digital sovereignty. By addressing issues ranging from data-driven surveillance architecture to the ethical challenges of cyber defense automation, this study invites the construction of a new, critical and conscious digital citizenship. The methodology used is bibliographical and documentary research, with an interdisciplinary approach, involving the fields of technology, sociology, law and philosophy of information. The text proposes the concept of “algorithmic digital self-defense” as the key to facing the emerging risks of the era of hyperconnectivity, protecting not only systems, but above all the dignity and freedom of users.
