New Regulations Set to Snare Data-Handlers into Compliance

As the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes more established in the EU, several U.S. states are implementing similar data privacy laws, requiring businesses to adopt reasonable data security measures to protect consumer information, with California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia leading these efforts. These regulations are expanding to include various sectors, necessitating businesses to focus on data resilience, as emphasized by frameworks like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. MongoDB, with its Atlas platform, offers robust solutions for data resilience and security, including multi-cloud deployment, encryption, and workload isolation, which align with this regulatory landscape. Furthermore, MongoDB announced a leadership transition with Dev Ittycheria stepping down as CEO, to be succeeded by Chirantan “CJ” Desai, who brings significant experience in scaling technology companies, positioning MongoDB to capitalize on emerging opportunities in AI and data-intensive applications.
