𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗔𝗜. 𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁. Veteran investor Yaakov Weinstein recently made an unpopular prediction: 👉 Toward the end of this decade (around 2028–2029), global markets may face a deep downturn — on a scale not seen since 1929. Not because of a single crash. Not because of one obvious bubble. But because 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁. A few key points behind his view: Equity valuations, especially in the U.S., are already stretched. Sustaining them requires unusually strong and persistent profit growth. AI may boost productivity in the short term, but trillions in investment still haven’t proven they translate into durable profits. Demographics are turning into a headwind: Baby boomers are retiring, consumption slows, healthcare costs rise. Fewer workers means slower growth in pension inflows — a structural issue markets haven’t priced in. Real estate, long the engine of the “wealth effect,” has stalled — in both the U.S. and Israel. Short term? 2026 will likely still be a positive year, though with more modest returns. Governments and central banks will do what they can — mainly through rates and mortgages — to support households. Long term? This isn’t about a minor correction. It’s about 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲. My takeaway: The real question isn’t whether markets can go higher from here — it’s 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀. Because when optimism fades, liquidity tightens, and narratives break — Only strategy matters.

$3B valuation and $760M raised. Here’s how Yotam Segev and Tamar Bar-Ilan achieved this just 3 years in. They didn’t build a startup. They built a defense system for the digital age. Before Cyera became a $3B company, before raising $760M from the best in the game and before defining the entire DSPM category, Yotam Segev and Tamar Bar-Ilan were deep inside Unit 8200 - Israel’s elite cyber-intelligence unit. They were: → Protecting data at a national scale. → They weren’t spitballing startup ideas. → They were running real ops and solving real threats. Years before the rest of us saw them coming. So when they launched Cyera in 2021, it wasn’t a guess. It was a mission - a platform that understands data, not just protects it. 1. Total mapping 2. Real-time visibility 3. Cloud-native security Today? Cyera is trusted by Fortune 100s, is backed by Accel, Sequoia, Redpoint, and is growing at hyperspeed. This isn’t the usual founder story. It’s what happens when military-grade precision meets category-defining execution. And they’re not building noise. They’re building the new normal. - - - - - Who else is building with this kind of depth and clarity? (Image by Ohad Kab - DADA STUDIO x YKC Media )

Proud to share our latest deep dive on the Shai-Hulud 2.0 campaign. Based on our hands-on work helping customers to contain the attack, we share what actually mattered in practice: once there’s a foothold, internal pathways decide outcomes - and preventive guardrails, validated by simulation before enforcement, shrink the blast radius without breaking production. One clear takeaway: perimeter defense just buys time - it isn’t the strategy. If you work with cloud environments, I hope these insights clarify the real attack paths, the pressure during fast-moving incidents, and why guardrails made the difference. Always happy to discuss further—this is an important moment for anyone responsible for cloud security. 👉 Read the full deep dive in the post below. Blast Security

CII in Armenia: When cybersecurity saves lives What if a doctor couldn't access a patient's medical history at a critical moment, or if high-tech medical equipment suddenly failed?🚨 An attack on the healthcare sector isn't just a data breach; it's a direct threat to people's health and lives.❤️‍🩹 It is, without a doubt, one of the most humane and vital parts of Critical Information Infrastructure (CII). Why is this sector so important? Modern medicine is unthinkable without IT. Electronic health records (EHR), hospital management systems, emergency service databases, and digital diagnostic equipment (MRI, CT scans)—all of this forms a single digital organism on which people's fates depend.🌐 Key cybersecurity threats to healthcare: - Ransomware: The most dangerous threat. By encrypting access to patient databases or hospital systems, attackers can paralyze a clinic's operations, cancel surgeries, and demand a ransom, playing with human lives.🔒     - Theft of medical data: Medical information is one of the most valuable types on the black market. It's used for insurance fraud, blackmail, and forging prescriptions.💰     - Attacks on medical devices: Hacking network-connected infusion pumps, pacemakers, or MRI machines can lead to incorrect diagnoses or direct harm to a patient.⚙️     - Insider threats: Careless or malicious actions by employees who have access to confidential information.🕵️‍♂️     How to protect the nation's health? 1. Network Segmentation: Strictly separating the network where medical equipment operates (MedLAN) from administrative and guest networks.💻     2. Robust Authentication: Using multi-factor authentication for doctors to access patient records and management systems.🔑     3. Timely Updates: Regularly updating software on both computers and the medical devices themselves, which often have long lifecycles and known vulnerabilities.🔄     4. Staff Awareness Training: Teaching doctors and nurses the basics of digital hygiene so they don't become easy targets for phishing.🧠    Secure digital medicine is a necessary condition for providing quality and timely care, ensuring the safety of every citizen. ➡️ In the final post, we'll talk about the water supply sector. Why is it so critical and how can it be protected? #CII #Healthcare #HealthTech #Cybersecurity #HealthSec #CriticalInfrastructure #InfoSec #Armenia

💡 Digital Sovereignty and Israel’s strategic choices This week, the Israeli government took an important step toward digital sovereignty by officially recognizing data centers and advanced computing infrastructure as national strategic infrastructure. This is a major policy milestone - and one I strongly welcome. This decision directly aligns with the recommendations we presented in our recent INSS Israel policy paper on Digital Sovereignty and Israel’s strategic choices in the AI and cloud era. In the paper, we argue that data, cloud infrastructure, AI compute, and energy are becoming strategic national assets - similar to water, energy, and telecommunications. Digital sovereignty today is not just about regulation - it is about control over core digital infrastructure, data governance, and energy policy, to ensure strategic autonomy, data protection, and operational resilience in both routine and emergency scenarios. The government’s move reflects a broader geo-tech strategic shift we discussed in the paper: 🔹 Recognizing compute, cloud, AI, and quantum as strategic national resources 🔹 Preparing for the dramatic surge in demand for compute and electricity 🔹 Removing regulatory and planning barriers to large-scale AI infrastructure investments ➡️ This is a first but critical step in Israel’s transition from being a #user of global digital infrastructure to an #owner and regulator - and hopefully, in the future, a #producer of core technologies. The real challenge now is implementation: enabling regulation, accelerating the energy sector, financing capital-intensive projects, and shaping a sovereign (hybrid) cloud and data governance framework. Coordination across ministries and regulators will be essential to provide certainty for investors and innovators. 💡 If done right, digital sovereignty can become not only a security imperative - but also a national growth engine and a core strategic advantage. 📄 Read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/dNS2PnSZ I’d love to hear your thoughts - especially on how countries can balance openness, innovation, and global partnerships with national control and resilience in the AI age.
