data we maintain or otherwise process or that is maintained or otherwise processed on our behalf; jeopardize the security of our facilities; or affect the performance of our technology. Incidents such as these could result from software bugs and other technical errors, disasters, insiders (through inadvertence or with malicious intent) or malicious third parties (including nation-states or nation-state supported actors) using sophisticated, targeted methods to circumvent firewalls, encryption and other security defenses, including hacking, distributed denial of service attacks, fraud, social engineering, or other forms of deception. The techniques used by cyber attackers change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time. We may face difficulties and delays in identifying, responding to, and otherwise addressing security breaches and incidents. These challenges are compounded by recent trends toward hybrid and remote work, which may increase the risk of cyber-attacks, security breaches and incidents. Although we maintain and continue to develop information technology measures designed to protect us from cyber incidents, such measures will require updates and improvements, and we cannot guarantee that such measures will be adequate to detect, prevent or mitigate all potential cyber incidents. The implementation, maintenance, and improvement of these systems requires significant management time, support and cost. There are inherent risks associated with developing, improving, expanding and updating current systems, including the disruption of our data systems and challenges with implementing such changes. Further, we utilize reputable third-party service providers or vendors for storage and hosting of a substantial portion of our data and source code. Our business depends on OEMs and other third-party partners to integrate, deploy, and commercialize our technology, and such parties may also experience cyber incidents through no fault of our own, which could disrupt their commercialization of our technology. We cannot be sure that the systems upon which we rely, including those of our third-party vendors or suppliers, will be effectively implemented, maintained or expanded as planned, and our third-party partners, vendors or suppliers may also experience cyber incidents caused by software bugs and other technical errors, disasters, insiders, or malicious third parties. If we, or third parties on which we rely or partner with, do not successfully implement, maintain or expand systems as planned, our operations may be disrupted, we may be unable to effectively manage our data; we may be required to expend significant resources to make corrections or find alternative sources for performing these functions; we may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary or competitively sensitive information
