Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

ITEM 1C. Cybersecurity Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our critical systems and information. We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, or NIST CSF, and the MITRE ATT&CK (R) Framework. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications or requirements, only that we use the NIST CSF and the MITRE ATT&CK (R) as a guide to help us identify, assess and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. Our cybersecurity risk management program 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 to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas. Key aspects of our cybersecurity risk management program include the following: - 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, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls and processes; - cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel and senior management; - a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and - a third-party risk management process for key service providers, suppliers and vendors. We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. We face risks from certain cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See Item 1A “Risk Factors - Cyberattacks or other security incidents that disrupt our operations or compromise data, may expose us to liability, harm our reputation or otherwise adversely affect our business.” Cybersecurity Governance Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Cybersecurity Committee (the “Committee”) since its formation in 2017 oversight of business continuity, cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Committee, as necessary, regarding any significant cybersecurity incidents. The Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board also receives briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our management team, internal security staff or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies. Our Chief Commercial Operations Officer and Chief Product Officer are primarily responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats and supervise both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. They stay informed about and monitory the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of key cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings with internal and external security team members, threat intelligence and other information obtained from public or private sources and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment. Our cybersecurity management team includes our corporate vice president of information technology, who leads the operational teams responsible for enterprise security, data governance and enterprise incident response, and global operations, and our senior vice president of cloud and engineering operations, who leads the operational teams responsible for product and cloud security, data governance and product security incident response. Our operational cybersecurity teams are comprised of members with decades of collective experience in IT security systems, tooling, operations, and governance, and hold various IT security industry certifications and have received specialized cybersecurity training.
