Cybersecurity

As markets grow more global and complex, so too are the threats through cyber intrusion, denial of service attacks, manipulation, misuse by insiders, and other cyber misconduct. In the United States, aspects of cybersecurity are the responsibilities of multiple government agencies, including the SEC. Cybersecurity also is a responsibility of every market participant. The SEC is committed to working with federal and local partners, market participants, and others to monitor developments and effectively respond to cyber threats.

CISA Highlights – Cyber Threats and Advisories

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) offers the latest cybersecurity news, advisories, alerts, tools, and resources. Sophisticated cyber actors and nation-states exploit vulnerabilities to steal information and money, and they are developing capabilities to disrupt, destroy, or threaten the delivery of essential services. Defending against these attacks is essential to maintaining the nation’s security. Protecting cyber space is the responsibility of individuals, families, small and large businesses, and local and federal governments.
