Another milestone for Israeli cybersecurity and YL Ventures: Aim Security, led by founders Matan G. and Adir Gruss, has been acquired by Cato Networks! From their $10M seed round in 2023 through their $18M Series A, we had the privilege of working closely with the team as they built one of the fastest growing cybersecurity companies in Israel, and the category leader of AI Security.

🐄 A cow connected to the cloud? A traffic light that thinks for you? Welcome to the real-world revolution of IoT. When we think of the Internet of Things, most of us picture smart homes—lights, thermostats, and vacuums we control from our phones. But that’s just the beginning. From connected cows in agriculture to smart traffic systems easing congestion in cities like Tel Aviv and Barcelona, IoT is quietly transforming how we move, produce, grow, and heal. It’s saving time, money, and resources—while also raising tough questions around privacy, cybersecurity, and infrastructure resilience. In a recent article for ynet, Daniela Ginzburg explores how companies like Sony are advancing this quiet tech revolution—and what it means for industries and consumers alike. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/duZ74yA5 #IoT #SmartCities #AgriTech #SupplyChain #MWC2025

The quantum era is no longer science fiction — it’s becoming reality. Are we ready? At Cybertech, Tali Shemer 🎗️, Director of Advanced Technologies at the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD), shared a critical message: “The real question is: how prepared are we to navigate this transition?” Quantum computing poses both a major threat to today’s encryption and a unique opportunity to modernize systems. But the shift to quantum-safe security won’t happen overnight — it requires years of planning and action. “Delaying action is not an option.” Organizations must begin now: assess risks, identify vulnerabilities, and plan for a quantum-resilient future. Q-Day is coming. The time to prepare is today. #QuantumComputing #CyberSecurity #QuantumResilience #INCD #Cybertech2025 #QDay #PostQuantumCryptography

I was recently asked by Walla to share a tip for early-stage entrepreneurs, as part of an article featuring 10 commandments from experienced founders.  Here’s what I shared: 💡 Focus on a real, significant problem – one that’s worth the startup journey. Entrepreneurship is a demanding, long, and sometimes exhausting journey. To stick with it over time, you need to know why you’re getting out of bed in the morning – and most importantly, what problem you’re determined to solve. Don’t fall in love with technology or a cool idea. Fall in love with a real, meaningful problem - one that affects many people or organizations and echoes across a large market. Only a solution that delivers real value to a painful problem will attract customers, employees, and investors - and keep you going as a founder. The deeper the problem and the more precise your solution, the more likely you are to create real impact – not just a nice product. A strong startup doesn’t begin with a brilliant idea, but with a sharp understanding of an unmet need that can’t be ignored. Read more insights from 10 seasoned founders in the full Walla article (in Hebrew). https://lnkd.in/dguTRyHG
