Risk Management and Strategy
The Company’s cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into the overall risk management framework, including risk identification, assessment, and mitigation across all business areas. We have collaborated with third-party consultants and built a cybersecurity program designed to protect and safeguard the integrity of our information systems, which aligns with industry standards and regulatory requirements. Key components of our cybersecurity risk management and strategy include:
| ◾ | Risk assessments, including vulnerability scans and penetration testing to identify potential system weaknesses. These are performed internally and supported by third-party consultants; |
| ◾ | Alignment of our cybersecurity framework with industry standards; |
| ◾ | Employee training and awareness: all employees receive mandatory regular cybersecurity training, with additional specialized sessions for high-risk roles. We also conduct simulated phishing exercises to enhance awareness and preparedness; |
| ◾ | Continuous monitoring and threat detection: our IT security team uses advanced tools for real-time network and system monitoring, enabling rapid detection and response to potential threats; |
| ◾ | Comprehensive cyber insurance coverage, including protection against social engineering fraud and other cyber incidents, to further mitigate potential financial losses. |
We have previously experienced actual or attempted cyber-attacks on our information systems or networks; however, none of these incidents had amaterial impact on our operations or financial condition. For additional information on the impact of cyber risks, refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors on page 12.
