A June 8 Bloomberg Businessweek article noted that publicly traded companies have started including the “material risk” of computer attacks in their SEC filings. It’s interesting to see the admission of some major companies that the threat of targeted attacks can impact the bottom line.
In what will undoubtedly become the trend in risk reporting to shareholders in annual reports there should be a corresponding effort to take actions to counter the threat. Perhaps the increased visibility into the advanced persistent threat will spur organizations out from behind their Cyber-Maginot lines and into more agile defenses.
