Latest developments in UK data protection and cybersecurity

The UK data protection landscape has been everchanging particularly since the Government’s announcement to reform its data protection legislation following Brexit through the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, and the updated process on international data transfers.

We are now entering a phase with a new framework of promoting technologies while protecting data and promoting innovation and are expecting a shift towards the interplay of technologies with the UK’s data protection regime.

Watch Melanie Pimenta and Jacob Montague for a quick round-up of recent and future developments, including:

  • Implementing the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA)
  • Cybersecurity and data breaches
  • The Regulation of AI to protect personal data and development of the metaverse

We will discuss the legal and practical considerations, and what to look out for the weeks and months ahead.
