Cybersecurity and privacy go hand in glove. While good cybersecurity does not guarantee privacy, it is a necessary building block of the privacy protection demanded by consumers and mandated by laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
