Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]

We believe cybersecurity is critical to our mission achievement to ensure uninterrupted business continuity, and enables us to deliver superior services while safeguarding our customers’ sensitive information.

Our cybersecurity risk management processes are integrated into our overall risk management strategy. As part of our risk management strategy, our cybersecurity framework encompasses the following key processes:

●Risk-Based Controls for Information Systems: We maintain an Information Technology (IT) infrastructure with physical, administrative, and technical controls tailored to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information and systems.
●Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan and Testing: We have an incident response plan supported by a dedicated team to address cybersecurity incidents. This includes vulnerability identification, initial assessment, and engagement of external experts as needed.
●Training Initiatives: We provide security awareness training to help our employees understand their information protection and cybersecurity responsibilities at FEI. We also provide additional role-based training to employees based on customer requirements, regulatory obligations and industry risks as needed.
●Third-Party Assessments: We engage cybersecurity firms to regularly evaluate our cybersecurity posture, helping identify and mitigate risks posed by evolving threats.

We seek to continually strengthen our cybersecurity defenses through significant investments in resources and maintaining comprehensive cybersecurity insurance coverage. We maintain an insider threat detection program to proactively identify and mitigate both external and internal threats in a timely manner.

We rely on certain third-party service providers to assist us with the delivery of our products to our customers. A cybersecurity incident at a supplier or subcontractor could materially adversely impact us. Therefore, we evaluate third party providers from a cybersecurity risk perspective, which may include an assessment of that service provider’s cybersecurity posture through a questionnaire. However, we rely on the third parties we use to implement security programs commensurate with their risk, and we cannot ensure in all circumstances that their efforts will be successful.

Our adherence to Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements ensures strict protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), mandated by the U.S. Department of Defense. These efforts underscore our commitment to maintaining the highest cybersecurity resilience standards and regulatory compliance.

As a U.S. Government defense industry contractor, we have experienced cybersecurity attacks and may be subject to significant cybersecurity attacks in the future. To date, we are not aware of any cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. For additional information, see “Our business could be adversely impacted by significant cybersecurity attacks” in Item 1A. Risk Factors above.
