CYBERSECURITY RISK MANAGEMENT AND STRATEGY

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan.We design and assess our program based on various cybersecurity frameworks, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) and the Center for Internet Security (“CIS”), as well as information security standards issued by the International Organization for Standardization, including ISO 27001 and ISO 27002. In 2022, our cybersecurity systems and processes achieved ISO 27001 certification. We use these cybersecurity frameworks and information security standards as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program and shares common methodologies, reporting channels, and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.Our cybersecurity risk management program includes:•risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise information technology environment;•a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents;•the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test, or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;•cybersecurity awareness training for our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management;
