reporting. With new incident reporting mandates being considered at
the state and federal level, this issue needs thoughtful
consideration. Incident reporting is a big topic so we cover it in
two episodes. In this first one, Sasha, Drew and Megan discuss
fundamental issues about whether incident reporting should be
required at all, from the perspective of victims of cyber attacks,
incident responders, and government.

In the third episode of "START HERE", Sasha O'Connell, Drew Bagley, and Megan Brown continue the discussion of cyber incident reporting, digging deeper to discuss the main aspects of proposed mandates and new government approaches. This episode addresses the state data breach reporting landscape and new laws like the Cybersecurity Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act and news rules at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Sasha, Drew and Megan discuss hard operational questions, including whether reporting should be public or confidential, timelines for reporting (and tradeoffs of speed versus accuracy), and how reporting mandates can put victims at further risk.The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.
