About

On May 30, 2024, Woodruff Sawyer held a webinar titled “Beyond the SEC’s Cybersecurity Disclosure Requirements” where Woodruff Sawyer experts discussed key lessons from the first several months of the SEC’s new cyber disclosure regime, shared practical risk mitigation strategies, and discussed important insurance considerations.  

Panelists included Woodruff Sawyer’s Bridget Choi, Cyber Product Lead, Walker Newell, Vice President, Litigation and Enforcement, and Lenin Lopez, corporate governance and securities expert.

• Learnings, risks, and rewards from the first wave of 10-K cyber risk management disclosures

• How a holistic approach to D&O and Cyber insurance coverage can mitigate both cybersecurity and cyber-related securities risks to companies, directors, and officers
