SECURITY — TRANSPARENCY REPORT SECTION (DRAFT)

Reporting period: January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024
Scope: Software supply-chain security, disclosure governance, and investor communications
Prepared for: Annual Trust / Transparency Report
Date: March 2025

Overview: This section summarizes our security and disclosure program posture in the period following the SUNBURST campaign and related SEC litigation developments.

Material Cybersecurity Incident: SUNBURST exposed risks in software build and release pipelines and led to extensive remediation and governance initiatives. During the reporting period, we continued secure-development and monitoring improvements and maintained coordinated response reporting.

Regulatory and Legal Outcomes: SEC litigation activity and court developments continued to define disclosure and internal-control expectations in this context. We continue to align Legal, Finance, and Security governance on incident evaluation, disclosure process quality, and evidentiary readiness.

Program Highlights (2024): Highlights include secure-build hardening, identity and access control upgrades, expanded telemetry and retention coverage, and recurring assurance checkpoints on high-risk workflows. We continue external communication through validated advisories and filings. References: [SEC filings], [Security advisories]. For questions: [contact].
