The Data & Cyber Frontier: Seizing opportunities and managing risks
Data is a critical asset in today's globally connected economy, where rapidly developing technologies, including AI, have made it easier than ever for companies to collect, use, and transfer information worldwide. At the same time, cybercriminals, nation state actors, and insider threats are introducing unprecedented risks to the security of company data. On top of these developments, regulators are busy at work developing and adopting new and "innovative" data protection, privacy, and cybersecurity regulations that create a complex and often inconsistent regulatory environment for businesses to navigate.
Our Global Data & Cyber Handbook is updated annually to help you stay up to date with the dynamic legal landscape. We provide detailed overviews and offer a comparative perspective on the increasingly complex and sophisticated data and cyber standards in over 50 jurisdictions.
We can help companies navigate the myriad of challenging data protection, privacy, and cybersecurity laws, regulations, and guidance in all regions globally, with our team of experts ready to assist wherever you need us.
