Webinar on "Effect of Cyber Security Guidance by the SEC on organizations" at 9:00 AM EST on 14th August http://goo.gl/aT35SL

On March 26, 2014, the SEC sponsored a Cyber-security Round-table. Soon thereafter the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE) issued a Cyber-security Initiative Risk Alert (Risk Alert), further highlighting the importance being placed on cyber-security preparedness by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Risk Alert is the latest in a series of public statements and guidance on cyber-security issues coming from the SEC. Other financial markets regulators Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have also issued cyber-security preparedness related expectations.

Although the Securities and Exchange Commission doesn't require companies to disclose cyber-security risks and incidents, companies should establish a disclosure framework in light of the SEC's cyber-security guidance.
