Globally, regulations are evolving rapidly, including the EU’s Digital Omnibus proposal, the expanding state-level privacy laws in the U.S., and India’s data protection legislation. At the same time, cyber risks such as ransomware attacks are escalating, requiring companies to strengthen preparedness across their entire ecosystem, including vendors and supply chains.
