ITEM 1C.     CYBERSECURITY

Cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated and effective every day. All companies utilizing technology are subject to threats or attempts of cybersecurity attacks. Maintaining data privacy and cybersecurity to protect our employees, customers, and business is an integral aspect of our operations. Our approach to data privacy and cybersecurity is defined by our commitment to preserving the trust our employees and customers place in us and focuses on driving continuous improvement as the threat landscape evolves.

Our Audit Committee and our management are actively involved in the oversight of our risk management program, of which cybersecurity represents an important component. As described in more detail below, we have established policies, standards, processes, and practices for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. We have devoted significant financial and personnel resources to implement and maintain security programs to meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations, and we intend to continue to make significant investments to maintain the security of our data and infrastructure.

However, there can be no guarantee that our policies and procedures will be properly followed in every instance or that those policies and procedures will be effective. Although our risk factors identified in Item 1A: Risk Factors included elsewhere in this Report provide further detail about the material cybersecurity risks we face, we believe that risks from prior cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected our business to date. We can provide no assurance that there will not be incidents in the future or that they will not materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Risk Management Strategy

We are guided by our Cybersecurity Charter, which includes our philosophy of information security, identifies the motivation for security, describes information security principles and terms, and defines the scope of information security policies and responsibilities for various functions. We continue to improve the maturity of our cybersecurity program, aligning with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework.  Our Director of Cybersecurity leads our information security operations, with a focus on identifying, evaluating, mitigating, and reporting on IT and cybersecurity risks that have the potential to threaten Sensata’s enterprise information assets and systems. Our cybersecurity and global IT strategy is regularly aligned with business leaders across Sensata through our IT Excellence Committee meetings, conducted 8 times a year, to ensure cyber, IT, and business priorities are communicated and understood throughout the organization.
