The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has imposed nearly $7 million in fines on four companies—Avaya, Check Point, Mimecast, and Unisys—for making misleading statements regarding the impact of the 2020 SolarWinds Orion software breach on their business. The SEC's enforcement action stems from allegations that these companies failed to adequately disclose the security incidents related to the breach, which has been a significant concern in the cybersecurity landscape. The settlement reflects the SEC's ongoing efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in corporate disclosures related to cybersecurity risks.
