Item 1C. Cybersecurity Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We have implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan. We design and assess our program based on the Center for Internet Security CIS Controls ( CIS Controls ). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the CIS Controls as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. Our cybersecurity risk management program is part of our overall risk management program. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes: risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents the use of external service providers, if appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management a third-party risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors and a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents. To date, we have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. 62 Table of Contents Cybersecurity Governance Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Committee oversees management s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The Committee receives periodic reports on our cybersecurity risks and processes from management.
