At LyondellBasell, one of our priorities is maintaining the trust of our customers, vendors, and employees by managing the risks associated with cybersecurity. To that end, we have implemented comprehensive practices to minimize global cybersecurity threats that target the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data, operations, and infrastructure (the “Cybersecurity Program”). The program includes:
- Annual cybersecurity education for select employees and contractors on relevant policies and standards, and best practices both at work and at home
- Communication processes including how to identify, respond, and report threats or potential vulnerabilities
- An established program based on the MITRE ATT&CK framework for dealing with ransomware and other cybersecurity incidents
- Regular technical risk assessments and vulnerability assessments of our network, applications, and manufacturing facilities, using a combination of trusted suppliers and a dedicated objective team
- Mobile threat protection mechanisms and policies
- Business continuity plans that are well documented and tested regularly
- Disaster recovery plans that are well documented and tested at least annually
