Over the past year, China has introduced a series of new regulations in the area of data security and cross-border data transfer, and made positive exploration in balancing development and security, including but not limited to the Network Data Security Administrative Regulations, the Provisions on Promoting and Regulating Cross-border Data Flows, the respective negative lists or industry-based general data lists of cross-border data in the FTZs of Tianjin, Shanghai, Beijing and other places, as well as sensitive personal information identification and other national standards and guidelines. As the relevant compliance work enters the most difficult stage, it is necessary to summarise the current overall compliance situation and to check and fill in the gaps on the important and difficult points.

过去一年，中国在数据安全和出境领域出台了一系列新规，在平衡发展与安全方面做出了积极探索，包括但不限于《网络数据安全管理条例》，《促进和规范数据跨境流动规定》，天津、上海、北京等地自贸区相继出台的各自数据出境负面清单或基于行业的数据跨境一般数据清单，以及敏感个人信息识别等国家标准和指南。随着相关合规工作进入深水区，有必要对当前整体合规情况进行总结，并就其中重难点查漏补缺。

Looking ahead, work related to data classification and grading continues to advance, and regulations such as personal information compliance audits and cybersecurity incident reporting are still to be released, placing new demands on companies to continue to learn and pay attention. In the face of rapidly developing new technologies and the accompanying regulatory requirements, how to achieve a high level of security while promoting the development of emerging technologies will be a new issue worthy of consideration by all parties.

展望未来，数据分类分级相关工作持续推进，个人信息合规审计、网络安全事件报告等规定仍待发布，对企业提出了持续学习、不断关注的新要求。面对快速发展的新技术以及随之而来的监管要求，如何在促进新兴技术发展的同时实现高水平安全，将是值得各方考虑的新问题。

Against this background, the 2024 Cybersecurity Conference will invite renowned experts, scholars and lawyers in the industry to discuss and exchange views, to sort out the latest regulatory developments in the field of cybersecurity and data protection for European enterprises in China, and to help them better understand the relevant compliance requirements, as well as the future development trend.

在这一背景下，2024年网络安全大会将邀请业界知名专家、学者、律师共同探讨和交流，为欧洲在华企业梳理网络安全和数据保护领域最新的监管动态，帮助企业更好了解相关合规要求，以及未来发展态势。
