Now, these corporate pupils must spill the beans on cybersecurity incidents within four days, turning the vague term “material incident” into a riddle as clear as mud. Homework just got harder and funnier!
Hot Take:
Looks like the SEC is handing out homework assignments and pop quizzes to public companies when it comes to cybersecurity incidents. Now, these organizations have to disclose juicy details of a cybersecurity incident within four business days after determining its "materiality".
