CISO Alert: This week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a statement addressing confusion about the agency’s new cyber breach disclosure rule. Companies must now use Item 1.05 of Form 8-K for “material” breaches and Item 8.01 for all others to avoid confusion. Why does this matter? Quick and accurate disclosure is crucial with rising cyber incidents and reporting timelines shrinking. Delay, and you could face hefty fines — just ask Intercontinental Exchange, which was recently fined $10M for delayed reporting. Stay ahead of the game by monitoring your attack surface and having clear response plans. In cybersecurity, speed is everything.

IT Brew: Just 150 companies account for 90% of the global attack surface, according to new SecurityScorecard threat research. In an interview with journalist Tom McKay, our SVP of Threat Research & Intelligence Ryan Sherstobitoff stated: “If you don’t know who your third-party vendors are, that’s a big no-no.

Protecting Our Nation’s Water: A Call to Action The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has raised an alarm about increasing cyberattacks on our water utilities, urging immediate actions to safeguard the nation’s drinking water. With over 150,000 public water systems serving more than 300 million people, the threat is significant and growing. Key Findings: — Many water systems struggle with basic cyber hygiene. — Over 70% of inspected systems fail to meet Safe Drinking Water Act requirements, with critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities. — State-sponsored threat actors, like Volt Typhoon, pose a serious risk. Ensuring the resilience of our critical infrastructure is paramount. Together, we can protect our water systems from escalating cyber threats.

Top Systemic Risks Of 2024: Interconnectedness Of Global Business Systems "How does a file transfer software go from relatively unknown to the largest breach of 2023, affecting over 2,600 organizations and government entities (and counting), exposing the data of 77.2 million individuals, and triggering class-action lawsuits against companies that didn’t use the product? The same way an outage at one of the major pharmacy claims processors in the US impacts the cash flow of 800+ hospitals, costs some providers as much as $100 million per day, and brings turmoil to healthcare operations nationwide. This is a symptom of the systemic risk of the interconnectedness of global business systems, aka globalization." Read the blog post by Forrester Analyst Alla Valente: https://lnkd.in/duyqxW4P
