The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped its lawsuit against SolarWinds and its former chief information security officer (CISO) Timothy G. Brown. The case, filed in October 2023, alleged that SolarWinds misled investors about its cybersecurity practices, which led to the 2020 supply chain attack attributed to Russian state-sponsored threat actor APT29. The SEC's decision to dismiss the case follows a July 2024 ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), which dismissed many of the SEC's allegations as speculative and relying on hindsight. SolarWinds CEO Sudhakar Ramakrishna stated that the company emerges stronger and more secure from this legal challenge.
