In a significant move to enhance cybersecurity measures, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recently approved new regulations. These rules mandate that public companies must promptly disclose any cybersecurity breaches within a strict four-day timeframe.
Additionally, the SEC requires these companies to elevate their Board’s proficiency in handling cyber risk and overseeing cybersecurity matters.

The proposal for these regulations was initially introduced in 2022, and the final decision was reached in July 2023, marking a crucial step in bolstering cybersecurity practices in the corporate sector.
Over time, computing technologies have witnessed an extraordinary exponential growth through distinct eras.

Initially, we saw the dominance of centralized mainframes, which later gave way to microcomputers and personal computers (PCs) during the 1990s.
