Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	TEM 1C – CYBERSECURITY Risk Management and Strategy Martin Marietta prioritizes the management of cybersecurity risk and the protection of information across the enterprise by embedding data protection and cybersecurity risk management in its operations. The Company’s processes for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats have been integrated into the Company’s overall risk management system and processes. As a foundation of this approach, the Company has implemented a layered governance framework designed to assess, identify and manage cybersecurity risks. Martin Marietta’s cybersecurity policies encompass incident response procedures and information security. To develop these policies and procedures, the Company monitors privacy and cybersecurity laws, regulations and guidance applicable thereto, as well as proposed privacy and cybersecurity laws, regulations, guidance and emerging risks. The Company partners with leading cybersecurity firms and organizations, utilizing third-party technology and expertise, to monitor and evaluate the performance and effectiveness of its cybersecurity controls and defenses and to supplement the expertise that the Company’s security managers possess. Furthermore, the Company conducts assessments of information technology and cybersecurity third-party providers during the initial review process and periodically thereafter. As described in Item 1A, Risk Factors of this Form 10-K, the Company faces risks from cybersecurity threats that could have material adverse effect on its business including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. While the Company has experienced attacks on the security of its information technology systems to date, management is not aware that the Company has experienced a material cybersecurity incident during the 2024 fiscal year.
