In its own words
What could break it.
Cybersecurity
- third-party DMS (CDK) dependency / business interruptionmedium
AutoNation depends on third-party providers including CDK (its DMS provider); these vendors carry cybersecurity, privacy and business-interruption risks (the prior-year CDK outage cut dealership productivity).
“In addition, we rely on third-party service providers to support our operations, including CDK, the provider of our DMS. These third-party service providers, with whom we may share data, are subject to similar risks as we are relating to cybersecurity, privacy violations, business interruption, and systems, as well as employee failures.”
