đš U.S. Banking Giants Challenge SECâs 4-Day Cyber Disclosure Rule!
Five of Americaâs top financial associations â including the American Bankers Association and SIFMA â are calling on the SEC to repeal its controversial cyber incident disclosure rule. đ±
đ The rule currently requires public companies to disclose any material cyberattack within 4 business days â a policy introduced to increase transparency for investors.
đ But the banks say this rule is dangerous and counterproductive. Hereâs why:
đč It hinders ongoing investigations
đč Exposes sensitive info during active breaches
đč Misleads investors if details are still unclear
đč Helps hackers by revealing system vulnerabilities
đč And it puts ransomware victims like Coinbase in an impossible position â Coinbase recently refused to pay a $20 million ransom after a major breach.
đ What This Means:
âĄïž Big banks and public companies fear more exposure and liability
âĄïž The SEC is under pressure to balance transparency with security
âĄïž Cyber risk is now central to corporate strategy â and crypto is at the frontlines
đŹ Should companies have more time to investigate before going public with a breach â or should investors know immediately?
