Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Co-Chair John Carlin spoke with Corporate Counsel, Reuters and Law360 about the recent amicus brief filed on behalf of 21 former cybersecurity government officials in the SEC's landmark enforcement action against software company SolarWinds and its Chief Information Security Officer. The brief, which includes John and Melinda Haag, all former senior DOJ officials, as amici, urges the judge in the SEC case in the Southern District of New York to carefully evaluate how enforcement actions such as this one may disincentivize companies from sharing critical cybersecurity information with government authorities. John, who is also counsel for the amici, notes that he's already seeing corporate security chiefs expressing hesitancy to report cybersecurity incidents because of the case.
