The Cybersecurity Threat Of GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) represented a new phase in data security and EU regulators’ approach to it. Designed to safeguard consumers with greater transparency into how, when and by whom their personal data is collected, GDPR, though based in EU, has a global reach and is likely to act as a blueprint for upcoming data security regulations in other markets.

But the legislation also comes with some big question marks. Nearly one year since GDPR came into effect, there remain uncertainties about issues like accountability in cases of data breaches at data sharing partners.
