 aligned with industry best practices. As part of this ongoing commitment, we are focused on continuously enhancing our programs to align and in some cases, exceed controls of the National Institute of Standards and Technology 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework. We also regularly engage leading third-party industry experts to assess the effectiveness of foundational cybersecurity controls across operations. We also involve third-party technical specialists to complete technical audits across all of our operations. This includes leveraging best-in-class software to scan for potential vulnerabilities, support ongoing network monitoring, and enhance overall threat detection capabilities. If applicable, we provide our operations with technical support and resources to expedite remediation activities and address potential vulnerabilities.

Disaster recovery and business continuity are also crucial elements of our comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. Our priority is to ensure that our portfolio companies are well prepared to maintain business continuity in the unlikely event of a disaster scenario. Understanding critical systems and collaborating with our companies to implement effective plans and processes forms the backbone of our disaster recovery efforts. This includes providing business continuity support through our partnership programs, assisting with the necessary technologies to put these plans into action, and conducting ongoing training on, and regular validation of, disaster recovery plans and systems. These measures ensure that our companies are equipped to quickly respond to risks and threats, allowing them to recover critical systems and operations in a timely manner and minimize the impact to their operations. By integrating disaster recovery into our cybersecurity program, we demonstrate our commitment to safeguarding our assets and operations and maintaining resilience against potential threats. See Item 16. K, “ Cybersecurity” for further details.
