Back in July, the Securities and Exchange Commission established new regulations mandating that public companies must reveal cyberincidents with significant consequences through an accessible 8-K filing within four business days. Companies are also obligated to provide additional information regarding their internal cybersecurity programs in their yearly reports.
The rule will come into effect for most companies on Dec. 18. Cybersecurity and legal experts have warned that identifying which breaches are significant enough to require reporting can be challenging, and there has been concern across C-suites about whether increased transparency may get companies in hot water with investors, customers and clients.
For alternative investment firms that are already grappling with other regulatory concerns, the picture is even murkier — and more daunting.
That’s why Drawbridge and Dynamo Software are co-hosting a FREE webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 8, to help investment firms strengthen all aspects of their cybersecurity program. The session, titled Atttention ALTS Investment Managers: Keys for Building Your 2024 Cybersecurity Program, will address requirements for locking down and implementing sound security protection controls, best practices around fintech provider due diligence, and training and education strategies focused on employees.
The webinar is geared to GPs, hedge funds, private equity firms and any investment firm focused on alternative investments. Panelists from Drawbridge and Dynamo will be joined by CenterBook Partners, who will provide real-word guidance and feedback on what works and what doesn’t around implementing a cybersecurity program. The session will also feature a Q&A.
- WHEN: Wednesday, Nov. 8 | 2 p.m. EST, 1 p.m. CST, 11 a.m. PST, 7 p.m. BT
