As the prevalence and sophistication of cyber threats in Brazil continue to increase, Brazil’s LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, or General Personal Data Protection Law), establishes principles and creates rules for both private and public organizations to protect fundamental rights of freedom and privacy.
