Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
ABM recognizes the importance of cybersecurity risk management, which is integrated within our overall enterprise risk management framework and is aligned with standard industry information security frameworks. Specifically, cybersecurity is one of the key risk topics covered within ABM’s enterprise risk framework through the Company’s regular identification, assessment, and reporting processes. Our internal information security program is managed by a dedicated team of cybersecurity professionals led by our Chief Information Security Officer, who reports to our Chief Information Officer.
We have implemented cross-functional cybersecurity processes, technologies, and controls to assess, identify, and mitigate cybersecurity-related risks, and to detect and prevent cybersecurity incidents. In evaluating cybersecurity incidents, management considers the potential impact on our results of operations, control framework, and financial condition, as well as the potential impact, on our business strategy or reputation.
We adhere to a risk-based, multilayered “defense in depth” strategy that incorporates multiple layers of security controls, including, but not limited to, security monitoring, endpoint protection, and identity and access management. Our processes are designed to oversee and identify material risks from cybersecurity threats associated with third-party technologies and systems, including those that leverage artificial intelligence. Where appropriate, these processes include pre-procurement assessments of contractual terms addressing cybersecurity and data protection, as well as reviews based on assessed vendor risk.
We regularly test and assess our systems and controls to evaluate the maturity and effectiveness of our information security program. We also regularly engage and retain expert independent external assessors and consultants to help continuously improve our security, posture, align with industry best practices, and evaluate external threats.
We provide regular, mandatory training for our employees regarding cybersecurity threats to raise awareness of how employees can help prevent and report potential cybersecurity incidents. We reinforce this training with periodic cybersecurity awareness reminders and phishing simulations.
Although the Company dedicates significant resources to protecting against cybersecurity risks, the Company has experienced, and expects to continue to be subject to, cybersecurity threats. To date, the Company is not aware of any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, the Company continues to face cybersecurity risks such as those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and there can be no assurance that cybersecurity threats or incidents will not have a material adverse effect in the future. While we maintain cybersecurity risk insurance, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all losses from cybersecurity incidents.

In addition, ABM maintains a monitoring system and escalation process to inform senior management and the Board of Directors of any potentially material cybersecurity issues. Specifically, our cybersecurity operations team monitors and reviews cybersecurity developments and threats, conducts initial assessments of these threats, and escalates any matter requiring senior management’s attention to our Chief Information Officer. We have also developed cyber incident response plans and related playbooks to guide the handling of information security incidents, outlining a coordinated approach to investigate, contain, and mitigate incidents. These response plans establish clear communication protocols for notifying senior management and other key stakeholders based on defined severity thresholds. Under these plans, any significant incident is escalated to a multifunctional materiality committee comprised of management representatives for information technology, legal, compliance, operations, finance, and accounting.
