22 Oct 2024 Unisys Corp.SEC: $4 million against Unisys for downplaying cyber incidents after SolarWinds USADisclosure and reporting obligations €3.7m

In mandatory disclosures, Unisys presented cyber risks as hypothetical, although it had suffered two intrusions with data exfiltration connected with the SolarWinds compromise. On the same day, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also imposed penalties on Avaya ($1 million), Check Point ($995,000) and Mimecast ($990,000).

What organisations can take from it

Do not describe cyber incidents that have occurred as a mere risk in investor information – disclosure processes must involve IT security.
