 to our computers and networks and impersonating authorized users, among others. Hackers may also develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that attack or otherwise exploit security vulnerabilities in our systems or products. Attacks may create system disruptions, cause shutdowns or result in the corruption of our engineering data, which could result in delays in product development or software updates and harm our business. Additionally, the theft, unauthorized use or publication of our intellectual property and/or confidential business information could harm our competitive position, reduce the value of our investment in research and development and other strategic initiatives or otherwise adversely affect our business. To the extent that any security breach results in inappropriate disclosure of our customers’ or business partners’ confidential information, we may incur liability as a result. We could also suffer monetary and other losses, including reputational harm, which costs we may not be able to recover. We seek to detect and investigate all security incidents and to prevent their recurrence, but in some cases, we might be unaware of an incident or its magnitude and effects. While we have identified some incidents involving attempts at unauthorized access, we are not aware of any that have succeeded. While we have not experienced any cybersecurity breaches that materially affected our operations, there is no guarantee that we will not occur in the future. In addition, our customers, partners and suppliers may experience cybersecurity attacks that may indirectly affect our ability to conduct business with them or result in cybersecurity breaches in our network, which may adversely affect our business operations. We expect to continue to devote resources to the security of our information technology systems. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. None. Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

We conduct periodic risk assessments to identify potential internal and external cybersecurity threats. These assessments evaluate the likelihood of the occurrence and potential impact of such threats, as well as the adequacy of our existing policies, procedures, systems, and controls. The Board oversees our cybersecurity risk management process, and the Audit Committee has the authority and power to provide specific oversight of cybersecurity matters. Our IT Director who has extensive experience in information systems and cybersecurity, leads our cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, architecture, and processes. The IT Director reports
