Dark Reading Confidential: The CISO and the SEC

This Dark Reading Confidential transcript examines how new SEC cybersecurity disclosure requirements and recent enforcement actions (notably SolarWinds and the Uber case) are increasing legal and professional risk for CISOs. Panelists discuss ambiguity around "materiality," multiple regulator notification timelines, the emotional and career impact on security leaders, the need for stronger coordination with legal, boards, and risk teams, practical mitigations (D&O/individual insurance, careful communications, incident-response planning), and the suggestion that industry practitioners engage regulators to improve guidance.
