It's really interesting to me that the SEC would pursue this for years (across different presidential admins) and then just decide to drop the whole thing.

I mean we can call a settlement "dropped" if you want.
I don't particular know the terms but given that apparently the legal system has been canceling the SEC ("A judge dismissed much of the regulator's case last year.") I suspect they're going to be favorable to SolarWins and so "dropped" is appropriate.
Afaik, the lawsuit probably has little merit in that all of these security companies provide no assurances about their products so uh there's no reason to believe they work. So if they don't do something they didn't claim to do its kinda like a non issue.
