Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected if we experience business interruptions, errors or failure in connection with our or third-party information technology and communication systems and other software and hardware used in connection with our business, if we experience defects or design errors in the software solutions we offer, or more generally, if the third-party vendors we rely upon are unwilling or unable to provide the services we need to operate our business effectively.

Security breaches, privacy breaches, cyberattacks, unintentional disclosures of confidential information, third-party breaches, or a failure to comply with information security laws or regulations, contractual provisions or industry security requirements by FIS, or our vendors, or technology partners, could harm our business by disrupting delivery of services, damaging our reputation and resulting in a breach of one or more client contracts or regulatory investigations, enforcement actions or fines.

Constantly evolving global privacy, data protection and cybersecurity laws require the Company to adopt new business practices, update contractual provisions in existing and new contracts, and constantly update our global Privacy and Data Protection Program and our global Information Security Program, which may require transitional and incremental expenses and may impact our future operating results.
