Employees
As of
Third-Party Service Providers
We are heavily reliant on our technology and infrastructure to provide our products and services to our customers. For example, we host many of our products using third-party data center facilities, and we do not control the operation of these facilities. In addition, we rely on certain technology that we license from third parties, including third-party commercial software and open source software, which is used with certain of our solutions.
Governmental Regulation
We collect, use, store or disclose an increasingly high volume, variety, and velocity of personal information, including from employees and customers, in connection with the operation of our business. The personal information we process is subject to an increasing number of federal, state, local, and foreign laws regarding privacy and data security.
22 Table of Contents Competition
The markets for our solutions are highly competitive, and we expect both the
requirements and pricing competition to increase, particularly given the
increasingly sophisticated attacks, changing customer preferences and
requirements, current economic pressures, and market consolidation. Competitive
pressures in these markets may result in price reductions, reduced margins, loss
of market share and inability to gain market share, and a decline in sales, any
one of which could seriously impact our business, financial condition, results
of operations, and cash flows. We may face competition due to changes in the
manner that organizations utilize IT assets and the security solutions applied
to them, such as the provision of privileged account security functionalities as
part of public cloud providers' infrastructure offerings, or cloud-based
identity management solutions. Limited IT budgets may also result in competition
with providers of other advanced threat protection solutions such as
