The cyber workforce gap is one of the most pressing and persistent challenges facing the cybersecurity industry. In 2024, ISC2 found that the gap amounted to 4.8 million people globally, up 19% from the previous year. Both public and private sector organizations – including the UK’s NCSC and the SANS Institute – have introduced countless initiatives in an attempt to close the cyber workforce gap, but it keeps growing. Perhaps the US PIVOTT Act will work better?

This blog will help you understand what the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) means for your business. Youll learn what steps to take and how to stay on track with DORA compliance. Its a simple guide to help your company reduce cyber risks, avoid fines, and stay strong against online threats.

Until 2023, India’s data privacy landscape was largely unregulated – businesses didn’t have to worry about how they process and store data. Sensitive customer data like Personally Identifiable Information (PII) could travel around the world in 80 days and land back to its source without violating a single regulation. While the unregulated digital space was a boon for data dependent businesses, it was a bane for customer privacy.

New cybersecurity legislation is coming thick and fast. And for good reason: cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, systems are becoming more connected, and geopolitical relationships are becoming more fraught. One of the most recent bipartisan legislations – the US Federal Contractor Cybersecurity Vulnerability Reduction Act of 2025 – is designed to modernize cybersecurity standards in the US and protect the country from threats.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is the first comprehensive California data privacy law granting consumers control over how their personal information is collected, used, and shared. It was enacted in 2018 and took effect on January 1, 2020, signaling a national shift in privacy regulations. With increasing emphasis on transparency and accountability, businesses must now adhere to a new standard in consumer data protection California.

Africa has made huge strides in digital transformation in the past few years. For example, over 160 million Africans gained broadband internet access between 2019 and 2022. As the continent embraces digitalization, cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly pressing concern.

Data loss prevention (DLP) software provides strong protection after data is stored, Secude provides Zero Trust protection before data is stored. Together, they secure your digital supply chain. Ensuring digital supply chain security is a fundamental part of the EU’s NIS2 Directive - and for good reason. In recent years, digital supply chains have become the main targets of cyberwarfare, with supply chain attacks rising 2,600% since 2018.

With NIS 2 becoming part of national laws, compliance has become mandatory for organizations within its scope. ‍ Although NIS 2 has addressed some of its predecessor’s shortcomings by expanding its scope and setting clearer security and reporting requirements, it remains demanding for security and compliance teams. Its prescriptive guidance and requirements are still limited in certain areas, which can leave teams uncertain about the exact steps to take.

For all the tremendous opportunities that the digitization of business operations has unlocked, there are also complex security and data privacy challenges that organizations have to navigate. In the interests of business privacy and security, legislation exists to hold organizations and policymakers to account. None are perhaps more influential and necessary than the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
