U.S. companies can gf forces bf into first time sex videono longer release quiet, belated information about data breaches.
The Securities and Exchange Commission released new rules yesterday requiring U.S. companies to report data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents within four days.
"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 press release. "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. Through helping to ensure that companies disclose material cybersecurity information, today’s rules will benefit investors, companies, and the markets connecting them."
