According to the reports, after the terrorist attack in the US, Sumption started several programs regarding information sharing and cybersecurity.

<h2>Clayton Welcomes Sumption</h2>
Clayton while encouraging Sumption, said that her knowledge regarding cyber risk would help the SEC in dealing with the increasing problem of crypto use for illicit activities. Clayton also thanked his former advisor, Kevin Zerrusen for his work. Clayton added that Zerrusen has helped them strengthen cybersecurity practices. 

The SEC was very passive regarding its regulations. But presently, it has been hiring new advisors to its commission because many countries have taken its regulations very lightly. In the month of December, the SEC hired Kristina Littman as the Chief of the Division of Enforcement’s Cyber Unit. As a chief Littman has been leading a unit that protects investors and markets from cybercrimes.
