Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
As part of our overall risk management processes, we maintain a process for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, including risks relating to the disruption of business operations or financial reporting systems, IP theft, source code contamination, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers, violations of privacy laws and other legal and reputational risks (Cybersecurity Management Process). This process is focused on our main operating facilities and networks in Israel, while the processes at our subsidiaries abroad are led by local management and vary in light of their respective needs, operational considerations and regulatory requirements.
Cybersecurity risks are considered under our Cybersecurity Management Process on an ongoing basis and alongside other company risks as part of the Board's annual review of the Company's overall risk profile. The Cybersecurity Management Process is based on methodologies implemented in consultation with external enterprise risk professionals and with the involvement of Company subject matter experts and management, as applicable. The process includes gathering the information necessary to identify risks, evaluating the nature and severity of these risks, identifying mitigation strategies, assessing the impact of these strategies on residual risks and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents when they occur.

Our Cybersecurity Management Process includes:

a cybersecurity and information security framework that includes risk assessment and mitigation through a threat intelligence-driven approach, application controls, and enhanced security defenses. We comply with the guidelines and instructions of the Israeli Director of Security of the Defense Establishment (DSDE) and look to industry best practices in developing our processes in this area;

development, implementation, and improvement of policies and procedures designed to safeguard information and maintain the availability of critical data and systems;

utilization of software and hardware solutions designed to protect and monitor our environment, including, among others, multifactor authentication, access controls, system backups, encryption, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, misconfiguration systems and identity management systems – in each case, for relevant systems as determined by the Company;

leveraging certifications under ISO-27001/27032/27035/27036 and ISO-27017/27018 standards for general information technology controls, and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for assessment of internal controls;

information security awareness training, including among others “phishing testing” conducted on a quarterly basis by our cybersecurity team for employees, regular cybersecurity updates and enhanced quarterly training for specialized employees involved in our systems and processes that handle sensitive information, customer data or audits. We also run annual tabletop exercises led by our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for our Executive Vice President - Chief Operating Officer (COO), Chief Security Officer (CSO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO) to simulate a response to a cybersecurity incident, and use the findings to improve our practices, procedures, and technologies;

a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, which provides a framework for handling cybersecurity incidents. Our Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan is based on the severity of the incident and facilitates cross-functional coordination across the Company and compliance with potentially applicable legal obligations, including processes for reporting cybersecurity incidents with an estimated material effect to the Board and issuing timely public disclosures, when applicable. In addition, we have established a Security Operations Center (SOC) at our headquarters in Israel to monitor and detect cyber incidents in real time and to manage our methodological response to such incidents, which is managed by our detection and response (D&R) team;

regular testing of our controls through penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and attack simulations (including the use of breach and attack simulation systems and independent third-party service providers, as described below);

collaborating with our peers in the areas of threat intelligence, vulnerability management, response and drills, and sharing threat intelligence and best practices across industries to fight cybercrime, enhance privacy, discuss new technologies, better understand the evolving regulatory environment, and advance capabilities in these areas;

identification of threats associated with our use of third-party service providers, including conducting surveys as necessary on a project-by-project basis, taking into consideration the needs of the project and the level of risk associated with such project. We also include data security obligations and data breach notification requirements in our agreements with third-party service providers that have access to information originating from our IT systems, as necessary on a project-by-project basis; and
engagement of independent third-party service providers in connection with our Cybersecurity Management Process who regularly: (a) review, assess and report on our internal incident response preparedness and help identify areas for continued focus and improvement; and (b) test for cyber vulnerabilities. Elbit Systems has also initiated regular information technology reviews performed by a third party based on ISO-27001/27032/27035 and ISO-27017/27018. In addition, as an Israeli defense company, we are subject to periodic reviews by the DSDE, in which our cybersecurity processes, technologies and professional capabilities and certifications are evaluated in relation to the DSDE's requirements and standards.

In recent years we have devoted significant increasing resources, to configuring, operating, maintaining, monitoring, upgrading and improving the security of our systems and databases, handling cyber incidents and meeting applicable customer requirements regarding their protection. As of the date hereof, our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents; however, we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks and any future material incidents. We have experienced an increase in the number of these threats and attempted cyber-attacks in recent years, which may be related to the geopolitical environment. In particular, we have been, and may continue to be, targeted by nation states and experienced and skilled computer programmers and hackers, including those sponsored by or acting for foreign governments or terrorist organizations and in some cases, using AI, including generative AI and agentic AI to facilitate their attacks. However, none of these acts were believed to have had a material effect on the Company. Where required, relevant authorities were notified in accordance with the law and the relevant procedures the Company and its subsidiaries have in place. Our suppliers are also sometimes subject to cyber-attacks, which have increased in recent years and pose a risk to those of our systems and operations that depend on such suppliers. For example, in September 2025 one of our suppliers experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the disclosure of certain unclassified material related to a Company project. Elbit Systems' network was not breached, an investigation was conducted and we believe this incident did not have a material impact on the Company. For additional information related to our cybersecurity risks, see Item 3. Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Operations – A cyber or security attack or other similar incident resulting in a breach, disruption or failure in our or our supply chain's digital environment, or of our products, could adversely affect us.
