Thank you, Chair Gensler. Although better than the proposal, this final cybersecurity disclosure rule continues to ignore both the limits to the SEC’s disclosure authority and the best interests of investors. Moreover, the Commission has failed to explain why we need this rule. Accordingly, I dissent. Cyber risk and the attendant disclosure obligations have been front-and-center for public companies for a long time, and the SEC has underscored the importance of cyber disclosures.
