Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items] |
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block] | Autodesk has established policies and processes for assessing, treating, and managing material risk from cybersecurity threats based on relevant industry standards. These policies and processes are reviewed and updated at least annually. We have integrated these processes into our overall risk management systems and processes. We routinely assess material risks from cybersecurity threats, including any potential unauthorized occurrence on or conducted through our information systems that may adversely affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein. We conduct risk assessments, penetration tests, and other security assessments to identify cybersecurity threats regularly, and in the event of a material change in our business practices that may affect information systems potentially vulnerable to such cybersecurity threats. These assessments include the identification of reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks, the likelihood and potential damage that could result from such risks, and the sufficiency of existing policies, procedures, systems, and safeguards in place to manage such risks. Risks are then assigned to the appropriate owners for tracking and mitigation. Following these assessments, we re-design, implement, and maintain reasonable safeguards, when appropriate, to minimize identified risks; reasonably address any identified gaps in existing safeguards; and continually monitor the effectiveness of our safeguards. We devote significant resources and designate high-level personnel, including our Chief Trust Officer, who reports to our Chief Technology Officer, to manage the risk assessment and mitigation processes. As part of our overall risk management system, we monitor and test our safeguards. We train our workforce on these safeguards. Personnel at all levels and departments are made aware of our cybersecurity policies through required trainings. Cybersecurity tabletop exercises are regularly conducted for our executives and for incident response professionals. Improvements identified at these tabletop exercises are implemented into our processes. We engage assessors, consultants, and auditors in connection with our risk assessment processes. These outside advisors assist us to design and implement our cybersecurity policies and procedures, as well as to monitor and test our safeguards. We require Autodesk’s third-party service providers and suppliers to implement and maintain appropriate security measures consistent with applicable laws in connection with their work with us and to promptly report any suspected breach of their security measures that may affect our Company. For additional information regarding whether any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our Company, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, please refer to Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the risk factors under the heading “Risks Relating to Our Operations”.
