Webinar | Surveying cybersecurity regulation around the world

Cybersecurity has become a legal and compliance issue, not just a technical one. Organisations across the world now have to deal with a growing set of cybersecurity laws, regulations, reporting duties, governance requirements, sector rules, and enforcement risks. Often in multiple jurisdictions.

Many countries do not address cybersecurity through a single statute. Instead, organisations often face a layered framework comprising data protection law, cybercrime law, critical infrastructure rules, incident reporting duties, sector-specific obligations, and information security standards.

This webinar offers insights into how different countries regulate cybersecurity. We will survey cybersecurity law worldwide and compare the approaches taken across different jurisdictions.

Cybersecurity regulation is growing quickly, but it does not look the same everywhere.

Members of the Lexing Network recently published a comparative insight into global cybersecurity regulation, covering jurisdictions including Brazil, Greece, India, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Singapore and Sweden. In this webinar, we will build on that work and hear from legal experts in different countries about what organisations need to know.

The discussion will focus on the practical legal and compliance questions organisations face. Which laws apply? What must organisations report after a cyber incident? Who is responsible for cybersecurity governance? How do cybersecurity duties overlap with data protection, AI governance, cloud services, critical infrastructure and sector regulation?

Join this webinar for a high-level overview of cybersecurity regulations worldwide.
