INTELLIGENT PROTECTION MANAGEMENT CORP.

Overview

At IPM, cybersecurity is at the core of our business operations and an integral part of our commitment to delivering secure, compliant, and resilient technology solutions to customers operating in highly regulated industries. Prior to the Transactions, the Company employed a comprehensive strategy with respect to cybersecurity, which was supported by both management and our Board. Historically, our Board was responsible for overseeing our risk management activities in general, and certain of our Board committees assisted the Board in the role of risk oversight. The operations team prior to the Transactions conducted manual and automated testing of our systems, with the goal of identifying vulnerabilities and proactively strengthening our defenses.

Following the Transactions, in order to support our comprehensive range of IT-related services and digital infrastructure, we have embraced a multi-layered defense approach, which helps us recognize and address the dynamic nature of cyber threats. By integrating diverse security measures, we aim to fortify our infrastructure against a spectrum of potential risks and adapt to the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Our cybersecurity strategy is proactively designed to protect our digital infrastructure, customer environments, and business continuity. This approach is supported by our management and Board, with structured oversight to ensure compliance with evolving regulatory, risk, and industry best practices.
