    Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2022                 

    Time: 10:00 am EST

    On Feb 9, 2022 the SEC proposed sweeping new cybersecurity risk management rules and amendments for registered investment advisers (RIAs) and funds. These proposed changes include more specific parameters and enforcement measures around cybersecurity policies, incident reporting and more, and will require many firms to adopt new partners, technologies and processes to comply. 

    These new rules are a step in the right direction to ensure the protection of alternative financial firms, their investors and the U.S financial market, but what does it mean operationally for RIAs? Our team have carefully combed through the full proposal from the SEC and pulled out the top 7 key areas and takeaways that firms need to focus on in preparation for these changes.  

    Join our panel of experts on Wednesday, February 23 at 10:00 EST where they will unpack the SEC’s full proposal, discussing the highest priority items for advisers and funds, key challenges, and the short term and longer-term strategies to ensure firms are well prepared.
