text: We actively maintain an enterprise risk management program that includes information technology and cybersecurity risk management. Management's role is to identify, mitigate, guide and review the efforts of our business units, consider whether the residual risks are acceptable, and approve plans to address potentially material risks. Cybersecurity is a key risk management category within our enterprise risk management program.


text: Our cybersecurity program is designed to safeguard against an evolving threat landscape through effective identification, prevention, detection, response and recovery processes. Our cybersecurity risk management processes include frequent assessment of our top cybersecurity risks and mitigations.


text: Our cybersecurity and risk management program encompasses several key areas consisting of threat and vulnerability management that help to identify, prioritize and reduce cybersecurity gaps or weaknesses. We regularly educate and share best practices with our employees to raise awareness of cybersecurity threats creating a culture where everyone shares responsibility to help protect our sensitive data and information. All employees are regularly provided cybersecurity training and involved in phishing prevention campaigns to raise awareness. Our identity and access management program involves access controls for least privileged access and additional authentication methods. We have many cybersecurity systems including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, continuous monitoring by a full time Security Operation Center to defend against unauthorized access. Incident response exercises are performed using our response and ransomware playbooks ensuring our readiness to response to cybersecurity events. We have a risk management program for our critical third-party vendors focusing on mitigating risks from external sources. Those third-party applications are monitored and access is reviewed including evaluating System and Organization Controls (SOC) reports.


text: Our cybersecurity program's effectiveness is based on recognized best practices, standards, and frameworks for cybersecurity and information technology, including periodic evaluation against established quantifiable goals and other external benchmarks, including the Center for Internet Security (CIS), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and several other security frameworks.

text: The Company follows the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") Cyber Security Framework to structure protocols for identifying, assessing and managing cybersecurity risks. In accordance with NIST guidance, we maintain documented information security policies and standards to protect operations, assets, data and services and to defend against, respond to and recover from potential cyber attacks.


text: These policies and standards include both preventive measures and reactive processes. Preventive measures include, but are not limited to, protective and detective cybersecurity systems, security monitoring, threat hunting and mandatory, enterprise-wide employee training. Our reactive processes are captured primarily by a cyber incident response plan (the "IRP"), which is comprised of an evolving set of procedures developed by cross-functional experts, and external consultants, who draw upon technical proficiency and learnings from past experiences. All of these procedures and practices are tailored to our technology environment and are refined iteratively. Further, we have an information risk management program that includes a vendor risk assessment process, whereby we systematically oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats related to its use of third-party service providers.


text: The IRP is executed by an Incident Response Team ("IRT"), led by our Information Systems Director. The exact composition of the IRT varies depending on the severity and potential impact of an incident and will typically include internal IT professionals and stakeholders across corporate and business functions. The team collaborates with internal experts and may engage external resources to assess and contain a threat if deemed necessary. Such external resources may potentially include forensic investigation and response firms, law firms, forensic accountants, and consultants who are on retainer contracts for expedited availability.


text: While cybersecurity threats remain a risk to the Company's business operations, our risk mitigation strategies have been effective. Accordingly, no such threats have materially affected our business strategy, results of operations or our financial condition. For more information regarding how cybersecurity threats could materially affect our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, see We rely heavily on information technology systems that, if not properly functioning, could materially adversely affect our business in Item 1A, Risk Factors.


text: Our Board of Directors has overall responsibility for enterprise risk management and has delegated the oversight of cybersecurity risks to the Audit Committee. The Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") immediately updates the Audit Committee on any significant cybersecurity incidents and/or threat that may require an 8-K filing. Furthermore, the CFO reports quarterly to the Audit Committee on any significant cybersecurity incidents, threats, mitigation strategies and controls at each Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee then updates the full board on significant matters raised and discussed during these sessions.


text: The Audit Committee delegates day-to-day management of cybersecurity risks to the Company's senior management, which includes our CFO, who reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer. Our CFO leads a team of dedicated professionals who are responsible for a wide range of risk assessment and management and leads specialized teams of internal and external experts focusing on distinct categories of threats.


text: The identification, detection, prevention and remediation of known or potential IT security vulnerabilities, including those arising from third-party hackers, hardware or software, is extremely costly and time consuming. We do not have the manpower, expertise or financial resources to effectively identify, detect, prevent or remediate cybersecurity risks. No assurance or guarantee whatsoever can be given that we will not be seriously damaged by the exploitation of our cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

text: During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not identify any cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, we may not be aware of all vulnerabilities or might not accurately assess the risks of incidents, and such preventative measures cannot provide absolute security and may not be sufficient in all circumstances or mitigate all potential risks.


text: Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We recognize the importance of establishing governance and oversight over cybersecurity risks, and we have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our critical systems and information.

companyName: DZS INC.


text: We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, or NIST CSF, and the MITRE ATT&CK Framework. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications or requirements, only that we use the NIST CSF and the MITRE ATT&CK as a guide to help us identify, assess and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.


text: Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.


text: Key aspects of our cybersecurity risk management program include the following: • risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services and our broader enterprise IT environment; • a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents; • the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls and processes; • cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel and senior management; • a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and • a third-party risk management process for key service providers, suppliers and vendors.


text: The landscape of cyber threats is constantly evolving, making it increasingly challenging to effectively defend against them or implement sufficient preventative measures. We have observed a rise in the volume, frequency, and sophistication of cyber-attacks. To date, no risks from cybersecurity threats or previous cybersecurity incidents have materially affected our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures in place to monitor and mitigate the risks of cyber threats, including the remediation of critical information security and software vulnerabilities, will be sufficient and/or timely and that we will not suffer material losses or consequences in the future. Additionally, while we have in place insurance coverage designed to address certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all insured losses or all types of claims that may arise. See Item 1A "Risk Factors – Cyberattacks or other security incidents that disrupt our operations or compromise data, may expose us to liability, harm our reputation or otherwise adversely affect our business."


text: Cybersecurity Governance This risk management approach informs decision-making processes related to the company's strategic priorities, the allocation of resources, and the establishment of oversight mechanisms. Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function, and the governance of this program resides with our Board, which bears the ultimate responsibility for the oversight of cybersecurity risks. Supporting the Board, the Audit Committee plays a pivotal role by engaging in regular reviews of our cybersecurity efforts in collaboration with management and providing periodic updates to the Board.
