☆ SEC Sues SolarWinds Over 2020 Hack Attributed to Russians
  + stars: | 2023-10-30 | by ( Dave Michaels | Kim S. Nash | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
An attorney for SolarWinds calls the SEC’s lawsuit ‘overreach.’ Photo: sergio flores/ReutersThe Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday sued SolarWinds , the software company victimized by Russian-linked hackers over three years ago, alleging the firm defrauded shareholders by repeatedly misleading them about its cyber vulnerabilities and the ability of attackers to penetrate its systems. The SEC’s lawsuit is a milestone in its evolving attempt to regulate how public companies deal with cybersecurity. A hack that steals business secrets or customer data often pummels the victim company’s stock price, showing why firms with public shareholders have to accurately disclose such threats, the SEC says. The regulator recently imposed stricter cybersecurity reporting rules for public companies.

Hari Ravichandran, chief executive of Aura, wants families—from children to their grandparents—to take charge of their personal cybersecurity. Ravichandran spoke with WSJ Pro about Aura’s challenges, and how it uses artificial intelligence to make cybersecurity invisible.

Companies that list wide pay ranges in cybersecurity job descriptions risk setting false expectations and kindling unrest among existing staff. Seven other states have required pay transparency for the past few years. In cyber recruiting, in particular, broad scales can hamper hiring, said Joyce von Seldeneck, founder and chair of Philadelphia-based Diversified Search Group.

Part of the delay, he said, was in getting details from the cloud company, which he declined to name. Cybersecurity companies should be held to a higher standard than others in relaying information about hacks quickly and thoroughly, Mr. Toubba said. The lessons learned from cyberattacks can be just as important as how a company responds to a breach, security chiefs say. LastPass has also rolled out several security tools in its infrastructure, data center and cloud systems, Mr. Toubba said.

☆ Automation and AI May Be Safe From Tech Budget Cuts, Says Databricks CEO
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Kim S. Nash | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +2 min
Automation is one part of the corporate tech budget unlikely to see cuts as companies tighten spending amid an economic downturn, said Databricks Inc. Chief Executive Ali Ghodsi. The company offers open-source tools for storing and analyzing large troves of data, with a focus on building artificial intelligence applications. Open-source data tools can help avoid lock-in, a scenario in which a tech provider often raises fees or slows innovation over time, he said. Farming and construction equipment maker Deere & Co., for example, is looking to Databricks’ open-source tools to build a repository for data analytics. Mr. Ghodsi declined to put a date on an IPO other than to say it will be “in the not too distant future.”Write to Kim S. Nash at kim.nash@wsj.com
