Posts in SEC.

As part of a larger trend of legal developments with respect to cybersecurity throughout the United States, the SEC recently proposed certain rules intended to increase and standardize a public company’s reporting and disclosure requirements regarding cybersecurity incidents and risk management (the “Proposed Rules”). Generally, the Proposed Rules require the disclosure of information related to a company’s: (i) material cybersecurity incidents; (ii) cybersecurity risk management and strategy; (iii) cybersecurity governance; and (iv) board member and management cybersecurity expertise. Specifically, and as more fully set forth in the discussion below, the Proposed Rules seek to amend Forms 6-K, 8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, 20-F, and Items 106 and 407 of Regulation S-K. Below, we have provided a brief summary of each of the Proposed Rules and the impact the reporting and disclosure requirements under such Rules would have on a public company.
