Risk Management and Strategy

Our comprehensive risk management strategy for the assessment, identification and management of material risks stemming from cybersecurity threats is aligned with Vornado’s strategy as the Company’s manager, which involves a systematic evaluation of potential threats, vulnerabilities, and their potential impacts on our organization’s operations, data, and systems.

Our manager’s cybersecurity risk management program, which is subject to our oversight, is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program, including legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.

The cybersecurity risk management program includes:

• Risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, and broader enterprise IT environment;
• A team principally responsible for managing (i) cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (ii) security controls and (iii) response to cybersecurity incidents;
• The use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of security controls;
• Cybersecurity awareness training for users and senior management, including through the use of third-party providers for regular mandatory trainings;
• A cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and
• A risk management process for third-party service providers, suppliers and vendors, which includes a rigorous vetting process and ongoing monitoring mechanisms designed to ensure their compliance with cybersecurity standards. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not aware of any cybersecurity incidents, that have had a materially adverse effect on our operations, business, results of operations, or financial condition.
  
  Governance
  
  Our Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Committee oversees the implementation of the cybersecurity risk management program.
  
  The Committee receives periodic reports from management on potential cybersecurity risks and threats and receives presentations on cybersecurity topics from Vornado’s Chief Information Officer. The Committee reports to the full Board of Directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board of Directors also receives briefings from management on the cybersecurity risk management program as needed.
  
  Management, along with Vornado’s Chief Information Officer, is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Management and Vornado’s Chief Information Officer have primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervise both the internal cybersecurity personnel and external cybersecurity consultants. Vornado’s Chief Information Officer has many years of experience leading cybersecurity oversight and overall has broad, extensive experience with information technology, including security, auditing, compliance, systems and programming.
  
  The management team supervises 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; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment. Our cybersecurity incident response plan governs our assessment and response upon the occurrence of a material cybersecurity incident, including the process for informing senior management and our Board of Directors.
