We are proud to share Willkie’s Privacy, Cybersecurity and Data Strategy: Year in Review 2024. There is never a dull day in privacy, cyber and data protection, and 2024 has certainly lived up to that reputation.
The privacy, cyber and data protection landscape continues to be complex, dynamic and rapidly evolving. 2024 saw a slew of new laws in this space come into effect around the world, multiplying the compliance burden on businesses. Alongside the proliferation of legislation, the enforcement landscape continues to develop. The speed, aggression and sophistication of cybercrime also continues to climb, with AI amplifying the impact both for cybersecurity efforts and for bad actors’ attempts to thwart them. Throw into the mix increasingly heightened public awareness of such cyberattacks and data breaches, regulatory action and AI (all of which consistently make front-page news) and the fluctuations in government and political direction in the UK and the U.S.: it’s clear that the rate of evolution is unlikely to let up anytime soon.
