Rigorous new reporting standards; SEC 8-K Filings.

Going into 2024, we’ll all be navigating the SEC’s new cyberattack disclosure requirements — namely, that companies report any “material cybersecurity incidents” within 4 business days of the event, with in-depth information about the occurrence. Now here’s the even better news. HackNotice now uses SEC 8-K filings as a data collection resource so security professionals don’t have to sift through thousands of daily filed SEC reports on EDGAR. Here’s an example of how we do that. 

These new reporting requirements have come about largely in response to pressure from corporate investors and enforcement agencies for a consistent cyber incident reporting system that counteracts the financial and reputational disincentives that corporations (naturally) have when it comes to disclosing cyberattacks. Cyberattacks are serious business, and stakeholders – including consumers – can’t be left in the dark. 

“Whether a company loses a factory in a fire — or millions of files in a cybersecurity incident — it may be material to investors,” SEC Chair Gary Gensler said in a statement. “Currently, many public companies provide cybersecurity disclosure to investors. I think companies and investors alike, however, would benefit if this disclosure were made in a more consistent, comparable, and decision-useful way.”

Corporations now have their feet to the fire in a big way – the disclosures are due a maximum of 4 days after the incident, which means that companies have to rapidly analyze the nature of the incident, see if it qualifies for reporting under the new SEC rules, and generate an appropriately detailed report that fits the SEC 8-K filing requirement.
