Several public sources
- 一位美国法官驳回了SEC针对SolarWinds的大部分诉讼，裁定相关指控基于“事后猜测和推测”。
- SEC指控SolarWinds隐瞒了攻击的漏洞和严重性，忽视了网络安全的复杂性并带有事后偏见。
我们的观点
SEC的行动无视网络安全的复杂性，要求SolarWinds披露每一起事件，无异于帮助黑客。企业必须在透明度和安全之间取得平衡，而SEC的立场破坏了这一平衡。SEC应该做的是专注于推广网络安全实践，而不是惩罚网络攻击的受害者。

发生了什么
一位美国法官驳回了美国证券交易委员会（SEC）针对软件公司SolarWinds的大部分诉讼，该公司被指控在与俄罗斯有关的网络攻击前后隐瞒其安全漏洞，从而欺骗投资者。
这次被称为Sunburst的网络攻击针对SolarWinds的Orion软件平台，渗透了多个美国政府网络，包括商务部、能源部、国土安全部、国务院和财政部的网络。该攻击于2020年12月披露，其全部后果仍不清楚，尽管美国政府将其归咎于俄罗斯，但俄罗斯当时对此予以否认。 另见: Ofcom 揭露英国铁路移动覆盖差距.
曼哈顿的美国地区法官保罗·恩格尔迈尔（Paul Engelmayer）驳回了针对SolarWinds及其首席信息安全官蒂莫西·布朗（Timothy Brown）在攻击后所作声明的所有指控。他裁定这些指控基于“事后猜测和推测”。在这份107页的裁决中，法官还驳回了SEC关于攻击前声明的多数指控，仅保留了一项与SolarWinds网站上关于公司安全控制声明相关的证券欺诈指控。SolarWinds对裁决表示满意，称剩余针对公司的指控“与事实不符”。 另见: 罗伯特·纽沃斯.

为什么重要
SEC于去年10月提起的这一案件，标志着监管机构首次在未宣布同时达成和解的情况下，将一家遭受网络攻击的公司作为目标。而且，SEC起诉未密切参与财务报表编制的高管也颇为罕见。SEC指控SolarWinds淡化了其网络安全漏洞和攻击严重性，并隐瞒了客户关于Orion恶意活动的警告。 另见: 欧盟重写人工智能基础设施主权规则.
然而，SEC的行动忽视了网络安全的复杂现实。要求SolarWinds披露每一起孤立事件和漏洞将是危险的，因为这会将公司暴露给黑客。企业必须在透明度和安全之间取得平衡，而SEC的立场打破了这种微妙的平衡。 另见: 欧盟限制美国卫星运营商接入频谱.
SolarWinds承认了普遍存在的网络攻击风险，这在当今数字环境中是诚实的坦承。因其成为网络攻击的受害者而惩罚他们，只会阻止其他公司进行此类透明披露。SEC必须调整策略，专注于培养健全的网络安全实践，而不是让陷入全球网络战交火的公司成为替罪羊。 另见: FCC 要求美国海底电缆登陆须获许可.
