Risk Assessment and Strategy

 

The Company regularly evaluates cybersecurity risk from computer viruses and more sophisticated and targeted cyber-related attacks such as ransomware, as well as cybersecurity failures resulting from human error and technological errors.

 

Our overall strategy in combatting known cybersecurity risks includes a variety of individual tactics, including:

 

·The use of antivirus software, virtual private networks, email security, as well as other software to prevent and detect data intrusions.
·The deployment of updates and patches as they are available and maintaining the current versions of major software to reduce the exposure to vulnerabilities.
·If necessary, the use of third-party security experts if and when an incident is detected.
