Regulatory gravity refers to the phenomenon where the rules, standards, and regulations of a large or influential market - such as the European Union or the United States - exert a strong influence on global companies, suppliers, and even governments outside their jurisdiction. Organizations often align their cybersecurity practices and products with these dominant regulations to maintain market access and reduce compliance complexity. This effect can lead to the widespread adoption of stricter security standards worldwide, as businesses seek to streamline operations and avoid penalties. Regulatory gravity shapes the global cybersecurity landscape, impacting policy, technology development, and risk management strategies.
