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. Our cybersecurity risk management program is designed to align with industry standards and incorporates best practices such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. We have also established an interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (“CIRT”), which is responsible for our incident response plan, our security controls, and for assessing incidents reported by our information technology security team. In addition, our cybersecurity risk management program includes: - Monitoring and evaluation of our vulnerability performance. - Implementation of processes to oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers that have access to our critical systems and information. For any agreements with service providers that do not contain acceptable protections, we are working to put them in place on an ongoing basis. - Risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise information technology environment. We use a third-party consultant to provide us with advisory, project execution, and operational support in connection with cybersecurity and to conduct NIST assessments and vulnerability evaluations. - Cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management. 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. For more information, see the section titled “Risk Factor- Our information technology systems, or those used by our third-party CROs or other contractors or consultants, may fail or suffer security breaches and geopolitical tensions or conflicts, such as the ongoing war in Ukraine or conflicts in the Middle East, may create a heightened risk of cyberattacks.” Cybersecurity Governance Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board of Directors encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions throughout the year. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks, including with respect to cybersecurity, with the Board of Directors at board meetings from time to time as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks. We have implemented a risk-based approach to identify and assess the cybersecurity threats that could adversely affect our business, data or information systems that we use or own. Our Vice President of Information Technology, as head of our information technology team, leading our cybersecurity efforts, oversees the day-to-day administration of our cybersecurity program. Our CIRT has members that include our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President of Information Technology. As key members of our management team, our Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President of Information Technology have approximately a combined 45 years of risk management experience and are responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Key members of our information technology management team collectively possess over 15 years of hands-on experience in implementing a diverse array of cybersecurity initiatives. Their expertise spans both cloud and on-premise IT infrastructure and applications/systems, cultivated through extensive engagement across various regulated environments. Our 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 engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the information technology environment .
