Dissenting Statement On Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance, And Incident Disclosure Proposal, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, March 9, 2022

Date 09/03/2022

Thank you, Renee, Ian, and Jessica. Cybersecurity risk is top of mind for everyone. The Commission’s consideration of this topic—whether for investment advisers, as we did a month ago, or public companies, as we are doing today—is, therefore, reasonable. We must approach this topic, of course, through the prism of our mission. We have an important role to play in ensuring that investors get the information they need to understand issuers’ cybersecurity risks if they are material. This proposal, however, flirts with casting us as the nation’s cybersecurity command center, a role Congress did not give us. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
