This IDC Perspectivehighlights how the convergence of data privacy, cybersecurity, and AI regulations is fundamentally reshaping enterprise technology strategy across Asia/Pacific. As governments race to enhance digital resilience and enterprises grapple with compliance complexity, this regulatory momentum is influencing infrastructure decisions, risk management approaches, and AI deployment frameworks. Drawing from IDC's 2024 Asia/Pacific Security Survey and Future Enterprise Resiliency Survey, the document outlines key enterprise concerns, industry-specific adoption trends, and the country-level regulatory landscape while providing actionable guidance for technology buyers. In an environment in which legal mandates are increasingly intertwined with operational outcomes, enterprises must invest in governance-ready platforms, embed privacy engineering into their digital architecture, and develop agile strategies for multi-jurisdictional compliance."As AI accelerates digital transformation across Asia/Pacific, enterprises can no longer afford to treat data privacy and cybersecurity regulations as legal afterthoughts. These mandates are now architectural imperatives, shaping cloud designs, influencing AI model governance, and driving zero-trust security investments. Technology leaders must embed regulatory foresight into every infrastructure decision if they want to remain agile, compliant, and trusted in a fragmenting digital world," says Sakshi Grover, senior research manager, cybersecurity products and services, IDC Asia/Pacific.
