As the digital transition has largely spread in almost every industry, data management and cybersecurity have attracted the interests of regulators across the globe.
In this webinar, our experts from Deacons law firm will cover the evolution and recent interpretations from authorities of China's Data Protection and Cybersecurity regulations. Panelists from Control Risks and 7Cento HK will outline risks faced by businesses that operate under the new legislation in China as well as the basics of data protection and infrastructure security from a tech perspective.
This seminar will highlight the different kinds of risks a company is facing while operating in China, and will guide the attendees through the process of identifying the different digital vulnerabilities, monitor endpoints, and secure the company's cyber perimeters.
Our guests will learn about the risks of managing the digital sovereignty in China and take in the necessary tools and knowledge to prevent data breaches and leaks, on discerning valuable data and how to properly store it.
