Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY Risk Management and Strategy We have established a cybersecurity risk management program that includes processes designed to identify, assess, manage, and monitor risks from cybersecurity threats and that is intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. We design and assess our cybersecurity risk management program using industry standards as a guide, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST CSF as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. We have integrated our cybersecurity risk management program into our broader risk management program and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas. Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include but are not limited to the following: - risk assessments of internal and external threats to the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of our data and systems along with other material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical systems and information ; - a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents; - cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, including incident response personnel, and senior management; - a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; - the use of outside providers, where appropriate, to conduct periodic internal and external penetration testing and security assessments and assist with other aspects of our security processes; and - a third-party risk management program for key service providers, based on our assessment of their criticality to our operations and respective risk profile, including risks associated with our cloud vendors and other third parties. As of the date of this report, we have not experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in a material effect on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Despite our continuing efforts, we cannot guarantee that our cybersecurity safeguards will prevent breaches or breakdowns of our or our third-party service providers' information technology systems, particularly in the face of continually evolving cybersecurity threats and increasingly sophisticated threat actors. We face risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For more information, see Item 1A Risk Factors, " Security breaches and other disruptions to our information technology systems or those of the vendors on whom we rely could compromise our information and expose us to liability, reputational damage, or other costs. " Governance Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity risks, including oversight of management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The CIO reports to the Audit Committee periodically, as well as to the Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer, and other members of our senior management as appropriate. These reports may feature briefings on our cyber risk management program, an overall assessment of our compliance with the our cybersecurity policies, topics such as risk assessment, risk management and control decisions, service provider arrangements, test results, any significant or potentially significant security incidents and our responses, and recommendations for changes and updates to policies and procedures. Our cybersecurity risk management program is also evaluated by internal and external experts with the results of those reviews reported to senior management and the Board. Our cybersecurity risk management program is led by our Chief Information Officer ("CIO") , and our CIO is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our CIO supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our CIO's experience includes over 25 years of experience in information systems, cybersecurity, and data protection. Our CIO takes steps to stay informed about and monitor efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include: briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our information technology environment.
