The disclosure regime represents a potentially major shift in how public companies disclose computer breaches.<\/p>\n<p>Security and legal experts caution that determining what types of breaches are material and require reporting <a href=\"http:\/\/velaw.com\/insights\/what-makes-a-cybersecurity-risk-or-incident-material-a-look-at-the-secs-proposed-rules-on-cybersecurity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">may pose a challenge<\/a> for some firms and that rushing to alert investors about breaches before they are remedied could put companies at risk. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The public nature of the disclosure and tight timeline is what could expose companies to additional risk, said Harley Geiger, a counsel at the Center for Cybersecurity Policy and Law. While Geiger welcomed regulators\u2019 growing emphasis on disclosure, he said that Wednesday\u2019s rule may have unintended consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Companies are already subject to a patchwork of disclosure requirements, but the SEC\u2019s new rule differs in one marked respect: Breach disclosures will be public in the 8-K forms filed with the commission and made available to investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Within four days of determining that a breach is material, \u201cthe company may or may not have expelled the attacker and patched the vulnerability or the vector that caused the incident in the first place,\u201d Geiger said. Disclosure of a breach may tip off other attackers to a vulnerable system, and if an attacker remains in an affected system, they may attempt to grab whatever data is available to them or burn down any infrastructure they have access to, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Publicly traded companies are already required to reveal information deemed material to investors, but Wednesday\u2019s rule shortens the timeline for when companies must disclose breaches deemed material and also requires that they provide an annual report on their cybersecurity risk management strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The rules adopted Wednesday include the possibility of extending the timeline of disclosure if the U.S. attorney general determines that disclosure poses a risk to national security or public safety, but <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/sec-cyber-disclosure-publicly-traded-companies-rule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">during the comment period<\/a>, U.S. business interests <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uschamber.com\/assets\/documents\/s70922-20128398-291304.pdf\">pushed for far greater leniency<\/a> in the disclosure timeline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cybersecurity experts caution that Wednesday\u2019s rules will require firms to overhaul how they think about breaches and that they may be poorly prepared to determine what needs to be disclosed to investors. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBusinesses will have to translate bits and bytes of cyber risk into dollars and cents of \u2018material\u2019 business risk,\u201d said Saket Modi, the CEO of Safe Security. \u201cMost organizations are not prepared to comply with the SEC guidelines as they cannot determine materiality.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\"> <\/footer>\n<p> <\/html><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-article__ads
