SolarWinds: From Cybersecurity Nightmare to SEC’s Most Wanted

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed charges against SolarWinds and its CISO, Timothy G. Brown, for allegedly misleading investors about their cybersecurity practices and known risks. The charges stem from supposed fraud and internal control failures related to cybersecurity weaknesses between the company’s October 2018 IPO and the December 2020 revelation of the SUNBURST cyberattack.

Hot Take:

Well, well, well, if it isn't SolarWinds back in the spotlight, but this time it's not about a cyberattack. It's about allegedly playing fast and loose with the truth. The SEC has filed charges against the company and its CISO, Timothy G. Brown, for supposedly misleading investors about their cybersecurity practices and known risks. This isn't an episode of "Law and Order: Cyber Crime Unit," it's the actual SEC. It seems that SolarWinds was hiding more than Easter eggs. Buckle up, folks, this is going to be an interesting ride.
