On Law-making and Legal Innovations in Terms of Protection against Personal Data Leaks

The paper deals with the analysis of recent legal innovations and amendments in the legislation related to personal data protection against the leaks caused by digitalization and globalization challenges. The author emphasizes the increasing number of cyber threats as well as the need for improved legislation to address these challenges.

The research employs a comparative legal analysis of existing legislation, as well as some recent amendments to regulatory legal acts aiming to strengthen personal data protection. The author examines such key issues as the growth of data breaches, and proposes some measures to address them, including implementing cyber insurance and increasing liability for data leaks.

The main issues in the area of personal data protection have been identified, including the increase in data breaches and illegal use of information through the employment of Deepfake technologies. To address these issues, measures have been proposed, such as improving legislation through the introduction of cyber insurance and increasing administrative and criminal penalties for data breaches. Additionally, legal mechanisms to combat Deepfake technologies have been considered.

The research findings can be utilized to further refine the legislation in the realm of personal data protection and raise the citizens’ awareness of cyber risks. The suggested measures, including cyber insurance and heightened accountability, can be instrumental in reducing the frequency of data breaches and enhancing information security. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the necessity for harmonizing legislation and enhancing the skills of IT professionals and legal experts.
