Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
We
understand the importance
of cybersecurity and
its role in
the success of
our Company.
Our business operations
depend on
the effective use of
our information systems in order
to properly serve our
customers, manage our business and
track and report
our financial results. Our technology operations consider risks from cybersecurity threats in the implementation and execution of
our business processes.
We have considered and assessed
the risks from
cybersecurity threats as
part of our
overall risk assessment
process using the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework.
In order to
identify, assess and manage material
risks arising from
cybersecurity threats, we
maintain internal resources to
monitor
and quickly respond to such
threats. We
perform vulnerability scans and penetration
testing designed to test the effectiveness
of
our
security
practices.
We
engage
service
providers
to
assist
in
the
of
our
over
our
information systems
through audit
and consulting
services to
test the
design and
operational effectiveness
of security
controls.
We continually monitor our systems to detect and identify cybersecurity threats. Prior to
contracting with third-party vendors, we
perform risk assessments of the vendors and require the vendors to manage cybersecurity risks to our business operations as well
as
notify
us
of
any
or
known
risks.
We
also
require
our
to
complete
training
programs
to
increase their
awareness of
and sensitivity
to cybersecurity
threats. These
training programs
include the
identification of
such
threats and the proper responses to a potential breach of cybersecurity that
aligns with our adopted processes.
The Company has
implemented a response
process in the
event of a
cybersecurity incident through
its crisis management
plan.
The
process
the
cooperation
of
the
technology
team
and
our
team
to
properly
detect
and
respond to these incidents. These
responses include determination of the
potential impact and materiality of
the incident, potential
disclosure
and
litigation
matters,
and
mitigation
of
actual
or
damage
to
our
systems
or
reputation
arising
from
the
incident. An action plan is implemented to respond to any potential cybersecurity breach in order to continue to effectively serve
our customers and conduct our operations with as little interruption as practicable. The information technology team reviews the
response process
on a
regular basis
to ensure
that it
is designed
to be
effective and
to encompass
current or
new cybersecurity
threats.
As of July
23, 2024, we
are not aware
of any risks
from cybersecurity threats, including
as a
result of prior
cybersecurity incidents,
that have
materially affected
or that
are reasonably
likely to
materially affect
the Company,
including our
strategy,
results
of
or
condition.
See
“Item
1A.
Risk
Factors”
for
further
discussion
about
risks
from
cybersecurity threats.
