Cybersecurity incident disclosure
Cybersecurity incident disclosure obligations for Technology, AI, and Competition sector firms have tightened considerably, driven by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's 2023 final rule requiring public companies to report material cybersecurity incidents within four business days of determining materiality. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity are each advancing parallel notification frameworks that create overlapping timelines compliance teams are now reconciling across jurisdictions. For technology firms operating in AI and data-intensive markets, the gap between a security event and a defensible disclosure is shrinking fast.
