 responsibility for the Company’s cybersecurity with all of our employees, conducting periodic phishing simulation campaigns and providing regular, mandatory cybersecurity training. Additionally, we maintain cyber insurance coverage, including protection against social engineering fraud, to further mitigate potential financial losses from cybersecurity incidents. We currently do not believe that any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial conditions. While we do not believe that any such risks have yet to materially affect the Company, the Company cannot guarantee that its ongoing and robust approach towards cybersecurity will be able to prevent all cybersecurity incidents that could have a material effect on the Company in the future. See Item 1A, Risk Factors, for more information on our cybersecurity-related risks.

Governance

On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee provides oversight of the Company's management of cybersecurity risk. They periodically review and discuss with management, including the Company’s Vice President of Information Technology and Engineering, the Company's significant financial risk exposures for matters related to cybersecurity risk, including the steps management has taken to monitor and manage such exposures. The Board of Directors also receives prompt and timely information regarding any cybersecurity incident that meets established reporting thresholds, as well as ongoing updates regarding any such incident until it has been addressed. 

The Company's Vice President of Information Technology and Engineering leads the overall cybersecurity strategy and risk management program. This includes overseeing risk assessments, developing security policies and procedures, and managing the IT security team. See Item 10, Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance, for more detail on his education and experience. Senior executives, including the Company's CEO and CFO, integrate cybersecurity risks into the overall business strategy and financial planning.
