On February 3, 2015, the SEC’s Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (“OCIE”) issued a Risk Alert that summarized its findings about cybersecurity preparedness in the securities industry. As part of its Cybersecurity Examination Initiative, the OCIE collected and analyzed information about cybersecurity practices and trends from over 100 registered investment advisers and broker-dealers. Proskauer discussed the OCIE study and its key findings in a client alert located here. With the OCIE stating that it will continue to focus on cybersecurity issues through 2015, registered investment advisers and broker-dealers should evaluate their cybersecurity policies and procedures in consideration of the OCIE findings.
