CISO Corner provides a weekly digest of Dark Reading articles tailored for security operations readers and leaders. This issue covers struggles with SEC disclosure rules, top cyber threats in 2024, the AI committee’s role for CISOs, Singapore’s cybersecurity regulations, and challenges in hiring cybersecurity talent. Additionally, it features a podcast episode and a voluntary agreement by major tech companies on security improvements.
Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are as follows:
1. **Struggle to Comply with SEC Disclosure Rules**: Many companies are having difficulty complying with the SEC’s four-day disclosure rule for material breaches, with smaller companies finding it particularly challenging.
2. **New Cyber Threats in 2024**: SANS Institute experts have identified the top five cyber threats for 2024, including concerns around technical debt, synthetic identity, sextortion, election threats, and offensive AI.
3. **Singapore Cybersecurity Update**: Singapore’s cybersecurity regulations have been updated to include more stringent rules for critical infrastructure operators using third-party and cloud providers.
4. **Cyber Labor Shortage**: Rex Booth argues that there is no cyber labor shortage and that organizations should look beyond traditional qualifications to find valuable cybersecurity candidates.
5. **CISA’s Secure by Design Pledge**: The pledge, although voluntary and not legally binding, is seen as a step in the right direction by defining the expectation for security standards.
