We’re wrapping up Cybersecurity Awareness Month - a perfect time to reinforce that protecting digital assets isn’t just about technology, but also about protecting people and processes working together.   This month, our team hosted two key events to raise awareness: 1. Hosting a webinar with the FBI for our portfolio companies and employees, focused on cyberattacks and the best practices for prevention. 2. Organizing a dedicated session for our CFOs and COOs on understanding and implementing enterprise cyber risk management at their companies. Our CISO Adam Glick shared, "At PSG, we strive to stay proactive to protect our digital assets and our people. We’re proud to have portfolio companies working on innovative cybersecurity solutions, helping to keep bad actors at bay in the digital world.”   Check out some of our portfolio companies that are working in this space: Addigy Bitwarden CENTRL Inc Hornetsecurity IRONSCALES LogicGate MixMode PreVeil Qmulos ThreatConnect   For more information on PSG’s portfolio companies, please visit https://lnkd.in/e67QA9yf

Did you know that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and 90% of them have no genetic marker or family history of the disease? Recently, PSG hosted a Lunch & Learn session about breast cancer prevention with Dru Lindgren, the Director of Community Engagement at the Find The Cause Breast Cancer Foundation. Our discussion shed light on the alarming presence of cancerous chemicals in our everyday products like cosmetics, skincare, household cleaning items, cookware, and food storage solutions. Fortunately, there are many simple, eco-friendly alternatives we can adopt to lead healthier lives. It was an eye-opening discussion that underscored the importance of making informed choices for our health. Find the Cause’s mission is to fund scientific research on the environmental causes of breast cancer and educate the public on prevention. Their consortium of scientists is helping lead the way in discovering which chemicals cause breast cancer and how to prevent them. We can all make a difference today in the fight against breast cancer by supporting prevention efforts and spreading awareness. Special thanks to Thomas Wynn for organizing this enlightening event!   #philanthropy
