Item 1C. Cybersecurity Risk management and strategy We have implemented and maintain an information security program designed to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, third party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data including intellectual property, clinical trial participant and patient-related data, and confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, or collectively, Information Systems and Data. Our cybersecurity threat risk management processes include the following, among others: Our information security department identifies and assesses risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment and risk profile using various methods including, for example, manual methods and automated tools, conducting scans of the threat environment, conducting threat assessments, performing vulnerability assessments, use of external intelligence feeds, and through third-party-conducted red/blue team testing and tabletop incident response exercises. Depending on the environment, we implement and maintain various technical, physical and organizational measures, processes, standards and policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data, including, for example: information security policies and standards governing access control, network and device security, encryption standards, incident response plans, disaster recovery plans, risk management, vulnerability detection and management and security awareness training requirements as well as security tools such as firewalls, malware protection tools, secure authentication tools, centralized logging and monitoring tools, threat intelligence tools, and data protection tools. Our overall risk assessment and management processes address cybersecurity threats that may have a material impact on our business.

Our Chief Information Security Officer, or CISO, and Chief Information Officer, or CIO, periodically review the area of cybersecurity risk management within our overall enterprise risk management program and work with our executive director of internal audit and enterprise risk management to incorporate the aggregate risks from the cybersecurity threat risk register into the overall enterprise risk management program risk register. In addition, our CISO and CIO report significant increases to our threat profile to the Information Security Governance Committee (described below). We use third parties, including professional services, incident response and managed security firms (including some that we have on a pre-paid retainer basis), to assist us from time to time to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks, perform threat assessments relating to our Information Systems and Data by reviewing our business and industry vertical threat profiles and applying those to the overall threat landscape, perform penetration tests, conduct cybersecurity readiness exercises, assess program maturity, and to assist in the event of a cyber security incident. We have third-party vendor management processes designed to help us identify, assess and manage risks from cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data that may arise out of our use of third-party vendors across 65 Table of Contents our business, including, among others, application providers, hosting companies, contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, distributors, and supply chain resources. Depending on the nature of the services and the service provider, our vendor management processes may include assessment of the cybersecurity practices of such vendors and contractually imposing obligations on the provider.

Management, including those serving on our Information Security Governance Committee, is responsible for hiring appropriate cybersecurity personnel, helping to integrate cybersecurity considerations into our overall risk management strategy, providing appropriate resources for cybersecurity risk management, and communicating key priorities to relevant personnel.
