**Introduction:**
Cybersecurity has become a top regulatory priority worldwide in the past five years, driven by escalating cyber threats and major data breaches. Governments across the globe have enacted and updated laws to protect personal data, secure critical infrastructure, and mandate timely breach reporting. From comprehensive data protection regimes in the EU and China to sector-specific rules in the United States, there is a mosaic of approaches. This report examines key cybersecurity regulations (20182023) in major jurisdictions including the United States, European Union, China, India, Japan, Australia, Canada, and other notable regions focusing on data protection, critical infrastructure security, incident response, industry-specific requirements, and cross-border data transfer rules. We also compare these frameworks to highlight commonalities and divergences.

## United States
**Data Protection & Privacy:** The U.S. lacks a single comprehensive federal data protection law, instead using a patchwork of sectoral laws and state legislation. In the past five years, states led the way in consumer privacy regulation. California pioneered the **California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018**, effective January 2020, granting residents new rights over personal data and imposing duties on businesses ([Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA)](https://cppa.ca.gov/faq.html#:~:text=The%20California%20Consumer%20Privacy%20Act,passed%20in%20the%20United%20States)). In 2020 California expanded this via the **California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)** (effective 2023), establishing a dedicated privacy agency and additional rights ([Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA)](https://cppa.ca.gov/faq.html#:~:text=In%202020%2C%20California%20voters%20approved,effect%20on%20January%201%2C%202023)). Following California, at least a dozen states (e.g. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah) enacted similar privacy laws, while federal proposals (such as the ADPPA) remain under debate. Sector-specific federal laws continue to govern certain data: **healthcare** information is protected by HIPAA (with updated rules on breach notification), and **financial** data security is regulated under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the FTC strengthened the Safeguards Rule in 2021). Overall, U.S. privacy regulation remains fragmented, with strong consumer rights emerging at the state level but no single GDPR-style law nationally.
