Event Synopsis:
Cyber attacks are happening with more frequency and are affecting prominent businesses with substantial cybersecurity infrastructure, including some of our nation’s largest financial institutions.
Over the past two years, cybersecurity has emerged as a key area of focus for the SEC and FINRA. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has formal jurisdiction over cybersecurity issues in the market, regarding customer data protection, and in disclosure of material information. Regulation S-P requires broker-dealers and investment advisers to, among other things, adopt policies and procedures to provide safeguards for the protection of customer records and information. In 2013, the SEC adopted Regulation S-ID, requiring some regulated financial institutions and creditors to have identity theft programs and, in 2015 may require public companies to disclose information on data breaches and other cybersecurity threats. Legislation recently passed by Congress would provide for the voluntary sharing in real time of “cyber threat indicators” among private organizations and the federal government.
In light of this, broker dealers and investment advisors must be aware of the increasing trends towards greater regulation of the market with respect to cybersecurity, increased demand for data and information regarding cybersecurity program compliance and any threats, and programs for protection from identity thefts and other crimes.
In a two-hour live webcast, a panel of thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will review and discuss the SEC and cybersecurity and what broker dealers and investment advisers must know in 2015. Speakers also will suggest how brokers, dealers, and investment advisers, legal counsel, and others can ensure compliance with SEC regulations and avoid the most common risk and pitfalls relating to cybersecurity examinations.
Key topics include:
- The SEC's Cybersecurity Examinations
- SEC and FINRA Cybersecurity Enforcement Actions
- Consequences for Broker-Dealers and Investment Advisers
- Board Oversight of Cybersecurity Compliance
- Compliance Risks and Pitfalls
- Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act
