October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month − an
annual global initiative to promote awareness and education about
the importance of cybersecurity practices. It serves as a timely
reminder of the need to stay secure in our digital world in the
face of increased cyber risks and a rapidly evolving global
regulatory landscape.
Throughout the month, Kennedys' APAC Cyber and Data Privacy
team published a series of short updates on issues and major
regulatory developments across the region, and we are pleased to
provide you with a copy of our report summarising these
insights.
We looked at recently introduced regulatory reforms, including
Australia's Cyber Security Bill 2024, Hong Kong's
implementation of a legal framework to enhance protection of
computer systems in critical infrastructure, Singapore's
voluntary scheme for rating medical devices, and how APAC
regulators are addressing guidelines for the responsible use of
AI.
