𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 October has been recognized as Cyber Security Awareness Month (CSAM) since 2003 through a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance. CSAM was created to ensure that every individual stays safe and secure online. The SEC 2024 Exam Priorities indicated that they continue to review broker-dealers’ and advisers’ practices to prevent interruptions to mission-critical services and to protect investor information, records, and assets. Operational disruption risks remain elevated due to the proliferation of cybersecurity attacks, firms’ dispersed operations, intense weather-related events, and geopolitical concerns. Given these risks and concerns, cybersecurity remains a perennial focus area for all registrants. 𝟰 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗼 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 - 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: Be cautious of unsolicited messages asking for personal information.
