Data Security’ s Expanding Regulatory Frontier

The world right now is experiencing a defining moment in data privacy and security. The shift to remote and hybrid work models accelerated the mass migration of business applications to the cloud. The rapid spread of generative AI technology poses an existential threat to data privacy, with the misuse of Personally Identifiable Information( PII), copyrightprotected content and proprietary data with Large Language Models( LLMs) for training. And, as always, malicious actors continue to devise new techniques and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in software to access the data organizations are tasked with protecting.

The cyber landscape is a complex place, and governing bodies around the world have sought to counter the growing array of threats and fight for the privacy right of individuals with new laws and regulations. At the time of publication of this guide, 137 countries have enacted laws governing data privacy and protection; that means three in every four countries you visit will have their own unique way of handling data privacy! It’ s a daunting figure, but even companies with a global footprint can maintain regulatory compliance with a well-thought out strategy and capable technologies underpinning it. In this guide, we provide a snapshot of the current global regulatory landscape and offer practical guidance on establishing a compliance framework. This will help you stay ahead of new developments and protect sensitive data without stifling innovation.
