WASHINGTON, June 5 -- Paladin Capital Group, an entity that says it supports and grows companies through venture investment and growth capital, issued the following news:
* * *
MIND Raises $30M Series A Funding to Deliver Autonomous Data Loss Prevention Through AI
Led by Paladin Capital Group and Crosspoint Capital Partners, MIND is already serving Fortune 1000 companies across diverse industries
*
SEATTLE, Washington -- MIND, the upcoming leader in data loss prevention (DLP), today announced $30M Series A funding, just seven months after emerging from stealth, led by Paladin Capital Groupand Crosspoint Capital Partners with participation from Okta Ventures and existing investor YL Ventures. This round brings MIND's total funding to over $40M and will fuel MIND's strategic growth and enhance its data security platform capabilities.
In the past seven months, MIND has achieved 500% customer growth, gained significant traction among Fortune 1000 companies, prevented sensitive data loss across hundreds of thousands of endpoints through its proprietary endpoint agent and delivered immediate value by protecting the sensitive data of leading enterprises. Recently, MIND was named one of the top 10 finalists - and the only DLP startup - for the 20th annual RSAC 2025 Conference Innovation Sandbox contest.
"MIND was founded to help organizations thrive in the AI era and navigate increasingly complex IT environments," said Eran Barak, Co-Founder and CEO of MIND. "Our rapid growth reflects a clear market shift toward smarter, faster and fully automated approaches to DLP and insider risk. This funding validates both our product and the market demand. With the backing of our new investors, each bringing deep expertise in data security, we're positioned to revolutionize the DLP category, empower secure innovation and double our R&D and go-to-market teams by year's end."
Organizations are overwhelmed by a surge in unstructured data and legacy DLP tools can't keep up. They rely on manual policies, produce excessive false positives and lack the context to detect real risk. In 2024, over 1.7 billion individuals were affected by data breaches, with the average breach costing $4.88 million, marking a 10% increase from the previous year and the highest ever recorded. In addition, insider risk is top of mind for every organization with the current macro environment, corporate and federal layoffs, and high-profile incidents with North Korean IT workers and bribed employees, such as the recent data breach at Coinbase. For security teams, the pressure is higher than ever. Real-time insider threat detection and rapid response are no longer optional; they're essential.
As the first DLP platform built in the AI era, MIND puts DLP and insider risk management (IRM) programs on autopilot to autonomously find sensitive data, fix data risk issues, and stop data leaks at machine speed. MIND takes a unique approach by combining data security posture and data loss prevention in one unified platform. MIND AI, the company's multi-layer classification engine, delivers posture through the discovery and classification of sensitive data that matters and reduces DLP false positives to nearly zero. It automates workflows to enable security teams to proactively remediate data risks with minimal manual effort. Prevention starts with the real-time detection and blocking of attempts - whether malicious or inadvertent - to exfiltrate sensitive data out of an organization's digital environments. MIND's immediate and autonomous decision-making uses both the sensitivity of the content, combined with the understanding of the business context, to determine normal user behaviors versus high-risk behaviors that should be stopped.
"AI is transforming how enterprises access and leverage data - but also how they lose it. As large language models make sensitive data instantly available to employees through natural language prompts, DLP has re-emerged as a critical, hair-on-fire problem. MIND has built an AI-native solution designed for this new era, unifying real-time posture and prevention in a single, modern platform," said Gibb Witham, Senior Vice President, Paladin Capital Group. "Led by Eran and his team, who have built some of the most successful machine learning-driven cybersecurity automation companies of the past decade, MIND has quickly established itself as the market leader in protecting sensitive enterprise data and redefining DLP for the age of AI."
"As the former CEO of Symantec, which, at the time, led the market for CASB and DLP, it's clear that today's existing tools need to evolve in this new AI era. Enterprises need a modern and unified approach to DLP, and MIND is delivering a much-needed solution," said Greg Clark, Managing Partner, Crosspoint Capital Partners. "We were impressed with the company's capabilities at this year's RSAC Innovation Sandbox contest, and with Crosspoint Capital's investment in its team and technology, we are confident MIND will continue to deliver the industry's most cutting-edge DLP platform. It is time for an AI-led disruption to legacy DLP."
"MIND is not just improving DLP, they are fundamentally transforming it," says Justin Somaini, Partner at YL Ventures, who led MIND's seed round and participated in this Series A. "This fundraise signals that the market is ready for a new generation of data protection built for the AI era. We are doubling down on MIND because we believe they have the vision, technology and team to redefine how enterprises safeguard their most sensitive data. This is a pivotal moment, and MIND is perfectly positioned to lead the future of DLP."

First-of-its-kind integration delivers on McGraw Hill's and Pearson's commitment to greater personalization in K-12 education
*
COLUMBUS, Ohio and HOBOKEN, N.J. - Wednesday 4 June 2025 - Global education leaders McGraw Hill and Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L) announced today an agreement to begin integrating Pearson's leading assessment capabilities directly into McGraw Hill's K-12 curriculum solutions. The integrationstrengthens McGraw Hill's personalization ecosystem, supporting educators' growing need for streamlined, data-driven teaching tools while enhancing personalized learning experiences for students.
The integration of Pearson's PRoPL (Pearson Review of Progress & Learning) will embed a high-quality interim assessment solution directly into McGraw Hill's core curriculum offerings--used by millions of students and educators across the country--adding deeper insights to drive educators' understanding of student progress and their ability to create learning paths tailored to students' needs. This connected experience will also provide a more complete view of student progress toward yearly academic goals across the school system, while saving teachers valuable classroom time.
"This collaboration combines McGraw Hill's high-quality, modern curriculum with Pearson's innovative digital assessments to unlock more value for students, teachers and administrators," said Sean Ryan, President of McGraw Hill's School Group. "By creating an elegant linkage between assessment and instruction that delivers reliable insights to inform classroom practices and district decision making, we're giving educators the opportunity to focus on what matters most - student growth."
McGraw Hill will initially roll out its integration of Pearson's interim assessment solution in California for the 2025-26 school year, combining PRoPL with California Reveal Math, McGraw Hill's award-winning K-8 mathematics curriculum. The companies plan to expand the integration to additional subjects, grade levels, and states in subsequent years.
"The future of education is data-driven, and this collaboration is paving the way. By combining Pearson's assessments with McGraw Hill's core curriculum, we're creating an integrated system where academic data flows naturally into teaching decisions, helping every student receive the right support at the right time." said Trent Workman, Managing Director, Pearson K-12 School Assessments, U.S.
Teachers and students will be able to access PRoPL's assessments through their familiar McGraw Hill online environment. The assessments, which are aligned to each state's unique standards, are designed to be completed in 30 minutes, preserving valuable classroom time while maintaining assessment integrity. Combining these best-in-class resources into one unified solution further reduces administrative burden, allowing teachers to focus on student learning while providing timely, predictive insights that make personalization practical, scalable, and impactful.

About Jurassic World Rebirth
A new era is born. This summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth.
Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind.
Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.
Academy Award nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora's most trusted team member; Critics Choice and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.
The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben's family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs' crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).
An Amblin Entertainment production, Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar nominee Frank Marshall, p.g.a., and Patrick Crowley, p.g.a., both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of last summer's blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Denis Stewart.
