Data security and the LGPD
We provide countless data at every moment, from turning on the computer to unlocking the cellphone screen. Cybersecurity culture, defined as a set of continuous actions, methods and technologies, is essential to keep information secret and guarantee security for computers, users, networks and digital infrastructures within corporate environments.
Many a time, data protection is not only a recommended practice, but also a regulation. Which is the case of the General Data Protection Act - LGPD; the necessity of being in conformity with it has collaborated in making organizations invest in and implement cybersecurity solutions.
Even with the LGPD in force and the National Data Protection Authority - ANPD, the federal organ responsible for its law enforcement supervision, Brazil gradually moves towards the development of data protection policies. The country occupies the 70th position on the international ranking of the Global Cybersecurity Index by the International Telecommunication Union, whereas in the Americas it is placed at the 6th position, after Uruguay, Mexico and Paraguay.
