Data in Transit: Cross-Border Challenges for Security and Privacy

As businesses increasingly rely on cloud-based services to power their operations, the complexities of cross-border data transfers and data localization requirements have become a major concern — especially for multinational organizations. This webcast will explore the evolving regulatory landscape, security challenges, and privacy risks companies must address when handling data across jurisdictions. Join Illena Armstrong, President at Cloud Security Alliance as she sits down with Peter Kosmala, Course Developer & Instructor at York University as they discuss: • Regulatory complexities: Understanding evolving global data privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, China’s PIPL, India’s DPDP Act) and their impact on cross-border data flows. • Data localization mandates: How country-specific regulations force businesses to rethink their data storage and transfer strategies. • Cloud security risks: The challenges of ensuring data integrity, compliance, and access control when using globally distributed cloud infrastructure. • Mitigating cyber threats: Best practices for securing sensitive data in transit and at rest, protecting against breaches, and ensuring third-party vendors meet security standards. • Operational and business implications: The balance between regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and the cost of implementing localized data storage strategies. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how businesses can navigate these challenges while maintaining security, privacy, and compliance across multiple jurisdictions. This deep dive into the future of cross-border data management and the strategies organizations need to mitigate risk in an increasingly complex regulatory environment will be of interest to everyone.
