Data privacy has emerged as a paramount concern, transcending borders and industries. The introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by the European Union marked a significant milestone in the global data privacy landscape. However, the conversation around data privacy extends far beyond GDPR, encompassing various regulations worldwide.
More than 130 global jurisdictions have enacted data privacy laws. While each contains rules and requirements distinct to their regions, they share a common priority: identity security. That’s because if an attacker compromises a single identity in an organization where sensitive data is collected, stored and handled, it’s all downhill from there.
