Introduction
Cyber regulations have expanded rapidly, yet fragmented approaches undermine collective security. Inconsistent standards create gaps that persistent threats exploit.
Regulatory Expansion
Data protection, infrastructure security, and reporting mandates aim to raise baseline defenses. However, uneven implementation limits effectiveness.
Fragmentation Across Jurisdictions
Differing legal frameworks complicate compliance and weaken cross-border coordination.
Burden on Organizations
Companies operating globally must navigate conflicting requirements, diverting resources from actual security improvements.
Toward Harmonization
International cooperation and baseline standards can reduce fragmentation and improve resilience.
The Role of Policy Coordination
Aligned policies enhance information sharing and collective defense.
Conclusion
Fragmentation, not absence of regulation, is the greatest governance risk. Harmonized approaches offer the best path forward.
