The data protection authority of the Netherlands, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, has published a policy document emphasizing the significance and interrelation of data protection and cybersecurity. The paper was presented during a hearing on online safety and cybersecurity conducted by the permanent Parliamentary Committee on Digital Affairs. The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens expressed concern that data protection has not received sufficient attention in the deliberations of Parliament.
Meanwhile, the National Cyber Security Centre in the United Kingdom has introduced enhancements to its risk management toolkit for professionals in the field. The updates comprise an eight-step framework for managing cybersecurity risks, an expanded toolkit concept encompassing various sectors and entities of all sizes, and an introductory methodology for risk assessment and management.
