Cybersecurity Risk Management

​

We face a number of cybersecurity risks in connection with our business and recognize the growing threat within the general marketplace and our industry. In the ordinary course of our business, we use, store, and process data, including data of our employees, partners, collaborators, and vendors. Cybersecurity threats and incidents include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems and networks, or our partners, collaborators, vendors, or other third parties with whom we do business, to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential or personal information and other cybersecurity breaches. We consider cybersecurity risk a serious threat to our business. To help the Company identify, assess, and mitigate risks to this data and our systems, we have implemented a cybersecurity risk management program that is informed by recognized industry standards and frameworks and incorporates elements of the same.

​

Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a number of components, including information security program assessments and continuous monitoring of critical risks from cybersecurity threats using automated tools. We periodically engage third parties to conduct risk assessments on our systems, including penetration testing and other vulnerability analyses. In 2024, Plug continued to fortify its comprehensive cybersecurity and risk controls. We maintain an insider threat program designed to identify, assess, and address potential risks from within our Company and evaluate potential risks consistent with industry practices, customer requirements, and applicable law, including privacy and other considerations. We mandated an annual cybersecurity awareness training module, enhanced our Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) based discipline of change and incident management, and overhauled our monthly patching/vulnerability management rigor. Additionally, Plug continued leveraging top-tier third party support for external and perimeter examination: completing exhaustive Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Scans (performed by OrbitalFire), establishing a robust Network Operations Center (NOC), and leveraging industry-leading endpoint monitoring and detection services (CrowdStrike). Additionally, we have implemented an employee education program whereby employees are able to attend cybersecurity awareness training during the onboarding process.
