SAN JOSE, Calif., April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As cloud adoption booms, governments around the world are increasingly strengthening data privacy laws designed to prohibit the disclosure or misuse of information held on private citizens. To enable enterprises to understand the multitude of data protection laws around the world, CipherCloud, a cloud security leader, today introduces its Global Compliance Resource Center, a dynamic library of reference materials to help organizations navigate the complex web of global data privacy laws.

The resource center provides an invaluable starting point for enterprises that are grappling with compliance issues associated with data that crosses national boundaries.
