Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity Risk management and strategy We have implemented and maintain various information security processes designed to identify, assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, third party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including intellectual property, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, and data related to our products (“Information Systems and Data”). Our information technology function is overseen by our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”), with support from our Cybersecurity Steering Committee, and helps identify, assess and manage the Company’s cybersecurity threats and risks, including through the use of the Company’s risk register. This group works to identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment and the Company’s risk profile using various methods including, for example: manual and automated tools, subscribing to reports and services that identify cybersecurity threats, analyzing reports of threats and actors, evaluating our and our industry’s risk profile, evaluating threats reported to us, internal and external audits, and conducting vulnerability assessments to identify vulnerabilities. Depending on the environment, we implement and maintain various technical, physical, and organizational measures, processes, standards and policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data, including, for example: documented incident response process, vulnerability management policy, disaster recovery and business continuity processes, risk assessments, network security controls, access controls, physical security, asset management, tracking and disposal for certain assets, systems monitoring, employee cyber security training, penetrating testing, cybersecurity insurance, dedicated cybersecurity staff, and a security operations center. Our assessment and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats are integrated into the Company’s overall risk management processes. For example, cybersecurity risk is addressed as a component of the Company’s enterprise risk assessment and identified in the Company’s risk register. We use third-party service providers to assist us from time to time to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, including, for example, threat intelligence service providers, professional services firms, including legal counsel, cybersecurity consultants, cybersecurity software providers, managed cybersecurity service providers, and penetration testing firms. We use third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions throughout our business, such as application providers, hosting companies, contract manufacturing organizations, and supply chain resources. Depending on the nature of the services provided, the sensitivity of the Information Systems and Data at issue, and the identity of the provider, our vendor management processes may involve different levels of assessment designed to help identify cybersecurity risks associated with a provider and impose contractual obligations related to cybersecurity on the provider. For a description of the risks from cybersecurity threats that may materially affect the Company and how they may do so, see our risk factors under Part 1. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “Risks Related to Our Business and Operations - If our information technology systems or those of third parties with whom we work of our data, are or were compromised, we could experience adverse consequences resulting from such compromise, including but not limited to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; loss of customers or sales; and other adverse consequences.” Governance Our board of directors addresses the Company’s cybersecurity risk management as part of its general oversight function. The board of directors’ audit committee is responsible for overseeing Company’s cybersecurity risk management processes, including oversight and mitigation of risks from cybersecurity threats. Our cybersecurity risk assessment and management processes are implemented and maintained by certain Company management, including our CIO, who is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (“CISSP”) with more than 20 years of experience leading IT and cybersecurity projects in a variety of industries. Our CIO is responsible for hiring appropriate personnel, helping to integrate cybersecurity risk considerations into the Company’s overall risk management strategy, and communicating key priorities to relevant personnel. Our CIO is also responsible for approving budgets, helping prepare for cybersecurity incidents, approving cybersecurity processes, and reviewing security assessments and other security-related reports. Our cybersecurity incident response plan is designed to escalate certain cybersecurity incidents to members of management depending on the circumstances, including our CIO. Our CIO works with the Company’s incident response team to help the Company mitigate and remediate cybersecurity incidents of which they are notified. In addition, the Company’s incident response plan includes reporting to the audit committee of the board of directors for certain cybersecurity incidents. The audit committee receives periodic reports from our CIO concerning the Company’s significant cybersecurity threats and risk and the processes the Company has implemented to address them.
