Abstract
Amid rising cyberattacks and frequent data breaches, India has enacted major legal reforms to strengthen data protection and enhance corporate responsibility. This paper explores the changing landscape of cybersecurity threats in India, with a focus on the duties of corporate directors, recent legislative changes, and the functions of regulatory agencies in upholding data privacy. By analyzing the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), and the formation of the Data Protection Board of India, the study outlines directors legal obligations, the consequences of non-compliance, and the practical difficulties organizations face. The findings highlight the urgent need for stronger governance, comprehensive cybersecurity strategies, and more effective regulatory oversight to protect personal data in Indias digital economy.
