CISO Insights: Voices in Cybersecurity

With the operationalization of the DPDP Rules 2025, India has ushered in a stringent "zero-tolerance" regime that mandates reporting every data breach regardless of risk and replaces GDPR-style legitimate interest with strict verifiable consent. We break down the critical compliance timeline leading to full enforcement in May 2027, analyzing how the new "blacklist" approach to cross-border transfers and the removal of victim compensation fundamentally shift corporate liability​. Join us as we explore the massive financial risks for Data Fiduciaries and the strategic steps required to avoid the maximum penalty of ₹250 Crore for security failure​es.   www.compliancehub.wiki/beyond-gdpr-5-surprising-truths-about-indias-new-data-privacy-act   Sponsors: www.compliancehub.wiki www.generatepolicy.com  

This episode explores Vietnam's first comprehensive Law on Artificial Intelligence, set to take effect on March 1, 2026, which establishes a risk-based regulatory framework similar to the EU AI Act but with a distinct focus on national sovereignty. We analyze the four distinct risk categories ranging from "unacceptable" prohibitions to "low-risk" systems, detailing the compliance obligations for essential sectors such as healthcare, finance, and education. Finally, we discuss how the government aims to balance strict safety measures with innovation through the creation of regulatory sandboxes, AI clusters, and a National AI Development Fund. www.compliancehub.wiki/vietnams-new-ai-playbook-4-surprising-ways-its-forging-its-own-path   Sponsors:  www.compliancehub.wiki  https://airiskassess.com  

The Intelligence and Security Committee’s 2023–2025 report reveals an Intelligence Community operating on a permanent "crisis footing," forcing agencies to continuously divert resources from long-term priorities to handle immediate conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. While the community pivots to address the complex "whole-of-state" threats posed by China, Russia, and Iran, it is simultaneously racing to modernize its technological infrastructure through massive Cloud and AI investments. However, the Committee warns that effective democratic scrutiny of these expanding powers is at risk, citing severe understaffing and a government failure to update the oversight body's remit for over a decade. www.securitycareers.help/crisis-in-the-shadows-5-shocking-revelations-from-the-uks-top-secret-security-report   Sponsors: www.myprivacy.blog www.compliancehub.wiki

This episode uncovers the "perfect storm" of cyber risks facing cannabis operators, from the regulatory "cashless ATM" crackdowns to the sophisticated phishing campaigns responsible for nearly 9 out of 10 industry breaches. We analyze high-profile incidents like the Stiiizy data exposure to show how third-party vendor vulnerabilities can cascade through POS and seed-to-sale systems, putting customer data and state licenses at risk. Finally, we outline essential "defense-in-depth" strategies, such as separating operational technology from corporate networks and implementing phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, to build a cyber-resilient business. www.securitycareers.help/a-straightforward-guide-to-cybersecurity-for-your-cannabis-business   Sponsor: https://cannabisrisk.diy
