SEC’s New Cybersecurity Rules Now in Effect
New cybersecurity rules from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) went into effect on December 15, 2023, reports Todd Ehret.

These rules represent a significant shift in disclosure requirements, as “disclosures must be filed within four business days after a company determines that it has experienced a material cyber-incident,” Ehret says.
