California's regime for cyber security, privacy and
data protection has some useful lessons for Australia.
As the world becomes more integrated, a myriad of laws could now
apply to you if you engage in global transactions. Over the past
few months, we have looked at developments in privacy and cyber
security law in
Singapore,
China and
the EU and compared them to
developing law in Australia. Finishing up our world tour, we
turn to the US.
The privacy and data protection regime in the US is a patchwork
of federal and state law and industry self-regulation. But the
state of California has worked to position itself as a leading
influence on cyber security regulation and practice. So here we
will look in depth at cybersecurity in California and highlight key
differences and trends that might have an influence on Australian
law.
