Item 1C. Cybersecurity. Management of Cybersecurity Risks and Cybersecurity Strategy We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. Our cybersecurity program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan. We design and assess our program based on the NIST 800-53 security, a framework recognized framework that demonstrates an organization’s commitment to information security. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use NIST 800-53 1 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 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. Our cybersecurity program includes: - risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, programs, and our broader enterprise information technology environment; - a security program is in place for managing (i) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (ii) implementation and oversight of our security controls, and (iii) our response to cybersecurity incidents; - the use of external service providers , where appropriate, to assess, test, implement and manage, or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes; - cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management; - a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for assessing and responding to cybersecurity incidents; - ad hoc internal review of the cybersecurity practices of key service providers based on our assessment of their criticality to our operations and respective risk profile; and - an Information Security risk management program that includes the risks within legal, quality, human resources, communications, clinical operations and financial teams pertaining to information security. We have no t 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 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 Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors- Our information technology systems, or those of any of our third-party service providers, may fail or suffer security incidents, breaches, or compromises and other disruptions, which could result in a material disruption of our development programs, compromise sensitive information related to our business or prevent us from accessing critical information, potentially exposing us to liability or otherwise adversely affecting our business.” Cybersecurity Governance Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function. The Board oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity program. The Board receives annual reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Board, as appropriate, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential. T he Board also receives briefings from management on our cybersecurity program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Senior Director of Information and Cyber Security (“SDICS”), or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies . Our SDICS, is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats . The SDICS has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and has over 25 years of experience leading cybersecurity programs across a variety of industries, including life sciences. Our management team takes steps to be 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 107 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.
