 or otherwise compromised, disrupted, or disabled, including as a result of actions by malicious insiders or third parties (including nation-state actors, such as those acting in connection with ongoing geopolitical tensions), such as intentional misconduct by computer hackers, phishing (including impersonating us by using domain names that are confusingly similar to ours), and other means of social engineering, including fraudulent inducement of employees or customers to disclose usernames, passwords, or other sensitive information, and employee or contractor error or malfeasance. For example, as a result of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. government issued a “Shields Up” alert in 2022 and other warnings for American organizations noting the potential for Russia’s cyberattacks on the Ukrainian government and critical infrastructure organizations to impact organizations in the United States. More generally, we and other American organizations may face increased risk of cyberattacks related to geopolitical tensions and events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the conflict in the Middle East. If such cyberattacks were to occur and were to impact us or our third-party partners, the relevant systems and security measures might provide inadequate protection. In addition, advances in computer capabilities, new technological discoveries or other developments may result in cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated and more difficult to detect. Any breach, incident, compromise, or failure of, or impacting, our systems or those of our third-party partners could result in the loss, corruption, or unavailability of our or our customers’ data, loss of intellectual property, someone obtaining unauthorized access to, modifying, exfiltrating, or otherwise processing without authorization our customers’ data or our data, or someone disrupting or obtaining unauthorized access to our Connected Operations Platform or other systems. Because a security breach or incident could materialize and techniques used by malicious actors continue to evolve, we and our third-party partners may be unable to anticipate security breaches or incidents and implement adequate preventative measures. We incur costs in our efforts to detect and prevent security breaches and other security-related incidents and we expect to incur additional costs in connection with improvements to our systems and processes in ongoing efforts to prevent such breaches and incidents. In the event of a future breach or incident, we could be required to expend additional significant capital and other resources to prevent further breaches or incidents, which may require us to divert substantial resources. Moreover, we could be required or otherwise find it appropriate to notify regulators, customers, and/or impacted third parties of, and otherwise address, the incident or breach and its root cause.
