Litigation and Cybersecurity Attorneys To Discuss New SEC Cybersecurity Rules

On December 5, litigation partner Amy Jane Longo will address the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) new cybersecurity disclosure rules during a Boston Bar Association webinar. Moderated by Amy Harman Burkart, senior trial counsel, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Amy and fellow panelists will unpack the new rules that require public company registrants to disclose material cybersecurity incidents within four business days of making a materiality determination and to include specific information regarding their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance in annual filings. They’ll discuss what these new rules mean for companies and the lawyers that represent them, factors in assessing whether an incident is material, the nature of required disclosures under the rules, and how businesses are addressing the requirements.
