ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY Viasat Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy and Governance DisclosureViasat builds, maintains, and operates satellite and telecommunications systems, infrastructure and services used by both government and commercial customers across the globe. We recognize the importance of building a resilient cybersecurity program focused on reducing cybersecurity risk to our customers, partners and our own organization. Our Cybersecurity Engineering organization, at the direction of the Board of Directors, has developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management and technical assistance program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the services provided and the information stored, processed or transmitted by our critical systems and infrastructure, while assisting staff to develop, operate and maintain secure products and services.Our Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated governance of cybersecurity and other technology risks to the Audit Committee (the Committee). Our executive management is ultimately responsible for assessing and managing risks from cybersecurity threats we face, and in this regard works closely with the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) who reports to our Chief Corporate Officer. The Committee oversees management’s design and implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program and receives periodic reports, at least semi-annually, from the CISO on cybersecurity risks, the threat landscape, and our cybersecurity planning roadmap. In addition, the CISO updates the Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as other relevant incidents and potential or mitigated threats. The Committee reports to the Board of Directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity, and may request the CISO brief the Board of Directors on the status of cybersecurity and risk management programs, as well as relevant incidents and threats. Board members also receive periodic presentations on key cybersecurity topics from the CISO.Our operational cybersecurity team is led by the CISO. The CISO has 31 years of experience in Information Technology and Security, with extensive experience designing, operating and protecting satellite and terrestrial telecommunications networks. The CISO also leads Viasat’s engagement with the private sector and government security communities, which includes facilitating active information sharing with these partners. As part of the acquisition and continuing integration of Inmarsat, the legacy Inmarsat cybersecurity team joined the Viasat Security Engineering organization. The engineering and operational cybersecurity teams of both legacy organizations jointly participate in local and national cybersecurity organizations, teach classes on cybersecurity, maintain numerous relevant certifications, and participate in training relevant to their field of expertise.The cybersecurity risk management program at Viasat is centered around an internally developed set of security principles and requirements
