The General Data Protection Regulation is the European Union’s forthcoming personal data protection law. In May 2018, the GDPR will replace the 1995 Data Protection Directive, significantly changing the rules surrounding protection of personal data of EU residents.
The Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform can help with organisation’s security and data protection efforts related to GDPR compliance by assisting in securing personal data at the application, network and endpoint level, as well as in the cloud. It can also assist in understanding what data was compromised in the unfortunate instance of a breach, but first and foremost it will help organisations prevent data breaches from happening at all.
