Defending your business from cyber threats is frenetic. Malicious attackers can exploit a vulnerability a little over two minutes after discovery, while a remedy may take weeks or even months, leaving a massive window open for exploitation. Even more frustrating, 60% of data breaches stem from unpatched yet known vulnerabilities. 

Zafran Security aims to slam this window shut by leveraging existing security controls to mobilize security teams and defuse threat exploitation. Co-founders Sanaz Yashar, Ben Seri, and Snir Havdala and their collective experience in intelligence, research, and engineering – grounded in real-world cybersecurity challenges – make them ideal for building a meaningful company at the forefront of protecting against cyber threats. We’re thrilled to invest in Zafran, alongside Cyberstarts and Sequoia Capital, and its mission to redefine risk mitigation.

In honor of #internationalwomensday, we celebrate Vrinda Agarwal, who joined us last year as an investor. Vrinda’s expertise and insight make Penny Jar Capital stronger in every way. We’re incredibly proud of the work she does to create opportunities for entrepreneurs who are building the next generation of enduring companies. 

Vrinda, we can’t imagine writing the next chapter of Penny Jar Capital without you.

"Am I even 1% better today at something I care about than I was yesterday? If yes, it was a successful day."

This is exactly the type of character we look for in founders at Penny Jar Capital - leaders who imagine “what if” and pursue their vision with a deep curiosity to learn. We are incredibly proud of Svanika Balasubramanian and rePurpose Global for the work they are doing to identify, finance, and scale innovation for the plastic waste crisis. CNBC's recognition of Svanika on their inaugural Changemaker list celebrating women transforming business is well deserved. #changemaker
