In this podcast Patrick Gray and Tom Uren talk about how the SEC’s new disclosure rules that mean companies have four days to report cyber security incidents once they’ve formally decided that they are material. So far, companies are very much erring on the side of caution.

They also look at the criticism of the CSRB’s board composition. Tom thinks these critiques are misguided. The cyber security landscape is so fractured that if the board were made up of faceless bureaucrats it would get very limited traction.

In this podcast Adam Boileau and Tom Uren talk about how although the PRC has pivoted to quieter living-off-the-land approaches, they don’t really care about stealth. They just want long-term access. So this means noisily digging in to networks and targeting end-of-life devices.

They also look at the FTC’s settlement against geolocation data broker Outlogic. It’s a win, but it’s built on shaky foundations.
