It's hard to believe summer is already in full swing! As the weather has begun heating up, so too has Forgepoint's schedule. Alberto hit the EU cyber startup circuit with Neil Costigan, Alejandro Romero and Google. Karl shared perspective with Authority Magazine on attracting and retaining top talent, while Shane spoke with Help Net Security about how big data companies can outshine their competition. We released two more editions of Forgepoint TIPS, and are now gearing up for another exciting Black Hat. Read on for more updates across the Forgepoint family. Onward! 

At the close of this year's Google for Startups EU Growth Academy: Cybersecurity in Paris, Alberto Yépez gave the keynote while Chief Architect at LexisNexis BehavioSec and Forgepoint Advisory Council Member Neil Costigan joined Alejandro "Alex" Romero, Co-Founder at Constella Intelligence for a founders' panel. Alberto, Neil, and Alex all spent time mentoring this year's cohort of entrepreneurs before and after the main events.
