About the Webinar

With its new Telecommunications (Security) Act, the UK is leading a new wave of intensified regulation of the telecom sector in leading markets around the world. Regulators and legislators in other markets such as the European Union, Canada, Australia, Singapore, even the United States, are looking to follow suit with their own new rules imposing new cybersecurity requirements on the telecom sector.

This webinar aims to inform the telecom ecosystem on global trends in cybersecurity regulation of the sector. Citing a variety of examples from around the world, it will enable attendees to  understand why governments and legislatures are intervening more in regulating the cyber security posture of the telecom sector, what type of requirements regulators and legislatures are prescribing, what timeframes are being advanced, and the incentives that regulators are using to drive adoption of their requirements.
