What Autodesk's 10-K says about security governance
Autodesk's fiscal 2026 Form 10-K, filed March 3, 2026, describes its cybersecurity governance in Item 1C. The lines below are that filing's own statements, each with the sentence it comes from.
Reporting line: the Chief Trust Officer reports to the Chief Technology Officer.
“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.”
Board oversight: the Audit Committee.
“The board's Audit Committee oversees the management of cybersecurity risks relating to financial, accounting, and internal control matters.”
How often the board or committee hears about it: quarterly.
“Our Chief Trust Officer provides quarterly briefings to the Audit Committee regarding our cybersecurity risks and state of our Trust program, including recent cybersecurity incidents and related responses, cybersecurity systems testing, and data protection initiatives and metrics.”
Experience of the security leadership, as the filing states it:
“Our Chief Trust Officer has more than twenty years of cybersecurity leadership experience, including serving in similar roles leading cybersecurity programs at other public companies.”
Material incidents: the filing states none.
“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".”
