The SEC has proposed that Boards include cybersecurity strategy, policies and procedures in the 10-K. The guidance from March 2022 also proposed that boards play an active role in implementing and overseeing cyber security including requiring cybersecurity expertise on the boards of all publicly traded companies. In this Seat at the Table discussion we will talk about the implications of this guidance for CISOs and how board expectations are ripe for change in the not so distant future. Jerich interviews Chris Hetner, the perfect person to discuss this topic as he is currently advising 1000s of boards through his role as cyber advisor to the National Association of Board Directors and his two stints as cyber advisor to the chair of the SEC.
