SUMMARY:Webinar | Q&A on commercialising data (law)fully
DESCRIPTION:The regulatory and compliance landscape is continually evolving\, raising new questions and challenges. We know you are working through our programmes and have many questions you would like answers to. This is why we’re allowing you to ask us any questions that concern you or your organisation. Over the years\, the members of our programmes have asked us questions—good questions\, challenging questions. We’ve noticed they often ask the same questions at the same time. In other words\, many people frequently have the same questions due to current events. \nAt Michalsons\, rather than answering the same questions repeatedly\, we have decided to hold a bi-monthly Q&A session for the members of all our programmes. Members can find answers to their questions and find out what they haven’t considered asking. It is an open floor and an opportunity for members to ask experts. \nIn this session\, we’ll answer any questions you have about information law or any of the programme’s modules. We know data is precious to your organisation\, so we help you navigate the regulations to commercialise it. The regulatory and compliance landscape for managing data is becoming increasingly complex\, particularly in cloud environments. Think data protection\, data retention\, access to information\, data subject access requests\, cybersecurity\, cybercrime\, AI governance and much more. You’re welcome to ask us questions about any of these topics. \nThis is an opportunity for you to drive the conversation and find answers to your questions. \nEvery month\, we answer the questions you’re grappling with and direct you to find the answers you seek. Join us by registering below. \nOutcomes\n\nFind answers to your questions by putting them to expert speakers and panellists.\nBenchmark yourself against the other delegates by participating in polls.\nKnow what other people are thinking and trying to solve by listening to their questions.\n\nPanel\nJohn Giles from Michalsons is an expert in data law and will answer your questions or direct you to the right resources. \nBookings for Q&A on commercialising data (law)fully\nPlease note that we do not allow AI meeting assistants to attend our webinars. \nMembers:\nThis event is free for members of any of the Michalsons programmes and Michalsons Plus members.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Surveying cybersecurity regulation around the world
DESCRIPTION: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. \nMany 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. \nThis webinar offers insights into how different countries regulate cybersecurity. We will survey cybersecurity law worldwide and compare the approaches taken across different jurisdictions. \nCybersecurity regulation is growing quickly\, but it does not look the same everywhere. \nMembers 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. \nThe 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? \nJoin this webinar for a high-level overview of cybersecurity regulations worldwide. \nWhat you’ll learn\nThe panel will discuss questions such as: \n\nHow is cybersecurity regulated in their country?\nWhat are the main laws\, regulations\, or standards that organisations need to know?\nWhat incident reporting duties apply after a cybersecurity incident?\nWhat are the main compliance challenges organisations face?\nHow does cybersecurity regulation overlap with data protection\, AI governance\, cloud services\, or critical infrastructure?\nWhat developments should organisations watch in your jurisdiction?\n\nOutcomes\n\nGet a high-level overview of how cybersecurity is regulated across different countries by listening to experts from around the world.\nUnderstand how incident reporting duties differ between jurisdictions by comparing the obligations.\nConsider how to comply in multiple jurisdictions by comparing practical compliance challenges across countries.\n\nPresenters\nHost: David Luyt has presented on cybersecurity law and compliance to audiences across a range of industries and knows how to make complex regulatory topics clear\, practical\, and engaging. In this session\, he will guide attendees through the development of cybersecurity regulation worldwide\, highlighting key differences across jurisdictions\, common compliance challenges\, and the broader trends shaping the regulatory landscape. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the global cybersecurity rules they may need to consider\, and how these rules affect organisations in practice. \nPanel:  Various expert members of the Lexing Network. \nAttendees\nThis webinar is useful for any organisation that needs to understand and plan for cybersecurity regulation across different jurisdictions. \n\nCompliance officers who need to understand which cybersecurity regulations apply to their organisation.\nLegal professionals\, including general counsel and in-house legal teams\, who advise on cybersecurity\, data protection\, technology\, and regulatory risk.\nInformation officers\, data protection officers\, and privacy professionals who deal with breach notification\, security safeguards\, and regulator engagement.\nCybersecurity and information security professionals who need to understand the legal duties linked to technical controls and incident response.\nRisk\, governance\, and audit teams responsible for cyber resilience and regulatory compliance.\nBusiness leaders who need to understand cybersecurity as a legal\, operational\, and reputational risk.\nTechnology providers\, SaaS providers\, cloud providers\, and digital service providers operating across borders.\n\nBookings\nThe webinar is held on Zoom. \nMembers and non-members:\nFree for all attendees (not just members of our programmes).

SUMMARY:Cybersecurity Compliance Training Live - The Essentials
DESCRIPTION:Think cybersecurity compliance sounds dry? Think again. \nThis is not a lecture. It is a live\, competitive learning event where you answer questions in real time\, score points\, and climb the leaderboard\, all while actually learning what you need to know. \nCybersecurity compliance covers the laws\, standards\, controls\, frameworks\, and practices that help your organisation protect its systems\, networks\, and data\, and meet its legal and regulatory obligations. Every organisation needs it. Most people are not sure where to start. That is exactly what this session is for. \nIf you are new to cybersecurity compliance\, welcome. Join our highly interactive session to unpack the essentials and put your organisation on the path to compliance. You could work through POPIA\, sector rules\, and best-practice frameworks on your own. Or\, you could do this instead. You will participate throughout the session\, not just at the end\, so by the time the scores are in\, you will have covered the ground that actually matters. \nIn South Africa\, cybersecurity compliance typically includes obligations under POPIA\, as well as broader legal\, regulatory\, and good-practice requirements. Depending on your sector\, this may also extend to specific frameworks such as the Joint Standard on Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Requirements\, which took effect in June 2025. \nBragging rights are up for grabs! \nOutcomes of this cybersecurity compliance training\n\nUnderstand the essentials — what cybersecurity compliance is\, why it matters\, and what it means in practice for your organisation.\nKnow where to start — walk away with practical first steps to begin or strengthen your organisation’s compliance journey.\nConnect the dots — see how cybersecurity compliance links to POPIA and other relevant legal and regulatory obligations.\nTest yourself in the room — live questions and real-time interaction with other attendees keep the session sharp and the learning active.\nActually remember it — an engaging\, competitive format helps content stick far better than slides alone ever could.\n\nAudience\nThis session is designed for anyone new to cybersecurity compliance or seeking a clear\, practical foundation. \nIt is particularly well-suited for managers\, leaders\, and decision-makers responsible for implementing controls that protect systems\, data\, and operations\, including compliance officers\, IT managers\, IT operators\, IT security officers\, IT governance officers\, HR and payroll managers\, marketing managers\, and auditors. \nIt is also a strong fit for legal advisers\, information officers\, and data protection officers who are new to the role or building a more grounded understanding of the cybersecurity compliance landscape. \nCybersecurity compliance responsibilities typically span legal\, compliance\, IT\, HR\, and operations. This session is a practical way to bring the right people up to speed. It is suitable for both public and private bodies. \nYour host\nDavid Luyt has presented on cybersecurity compliance to audiences across a range of industries and knows how to make a genuinely complex subject accessible and engaging. In this session\, he combines clear\, practical explanations with live interaction to create an experience that informs and entertains in equal measure. Attendees leave better informed than when they arrived\, and usually have fun being a little competitive about it. \nBookings\nPlease note that we do not allow AI meeting assistants to attend our webinars. \nMembers:\nThis event is free for Michalsons Plus and Michalsons programme members.
