Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	Like other companies, we currently inhabit an environment of increasing global cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats. We aim to effectively assess, identify, and manage material risks from these cybersecurity threats through our cybersecurity risk management program. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes processes that incorporate and utilize certain principles from the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework and the Center for Internet Security – Top 18 Critical Security Controls – Control Level Framework. The program aims to protect and preserve the security, availability, integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of our information systems and information residing on those systems and includes controls and procedures for the prevention, identification, containment, and remediation of cybersecurity threats through the use of various technologies, tools, policies, standards, and practices. Features of our cybersecurity risk management program include: •An expectation, set forth in our Code of Ethics, that all employees are responsible for protecting our data, operations and environment from unauthorized access and use; •Regular cybersecurity risk assessments and benchmarking; •Policies and processes related to the detection and reporting of and response to cybersecurity events; •Cybersecurity training for all newly hired employees upon onboarding; •Individualized, biannual employee information security assessments, coupled with tailored follow-on employee trainings; •Phishing tests conducted at least quarterly on a global basis, with additional periodic phishing tests conducted with high-risk employee groups; •Channels for employees to report suspicious emails or other activity and the actual or suspected loss, theft, improper use of or access to IDEXX systems or information; •Deployment and ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of technological tools aimed at preventing, detecting, and mitigating cybersecurity threats; •Policies and procedures to assess third-party service provider cybersecurity risks and security controls and measures (as part of our procurement process and periodically thereafter); •Periodic performance of cybersecurity tabletop exercises; •Regular review of and, as applicable, updates to our cyber incident response plan and protocols, system backup measures, redundancy planning and disaster recovery plans; and •Maintenance of a cyber risk insurance policy to help address risk of loss due to certain types of cybersecurity events. A review of cybersecurity risks is integrated into our annual enterprise risk assessment that occurs as part of our annual strategic planning process and is included in our quarterly disclosure controls and procedures. Our annual enterprise risk assessment process involves the identification and assessment by senior line-of-business and functional leaders, as well as our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) and Chief Information Officer (“CIO”), of the risks relevant to their lines of business and functional areas, the materiality of those risks, our risk tolerances and our plans to manage and mitigate the risks to the extent prudent and feasible.
