    The machines are taking over - but is it in a good way? In 2023, there’s was a reported 240% rise in machine identities with 45 machine identities for every human. This explosion of automation and microservices means faster, more agile processes, but also a massive challenge in managing cyber risk. In a recent podcast, Akeyless Security Co-founder & CEO Oded Hareven and Team8 CISO-In-Residence Ross Young sat down to discuss how this shift is transforming organizations, productivity, and the pace of innovation.

    Managing Partner Team8 Group at Team8

    As this year comes to a close, it is time to reflect a little on what we’ve been through and where we may be headed. Undoubtedly 2024 was one of the more challenging years for Israel for many decades. We have faced an ongoing war, an international reality that creates a more complex business environment, and have hostages still held in Gaza who must return safely for normality to have a chance to return to all our lives. Without a doubt, this year demanded resilience in every sense. On the positive side, I’m proud of the journey Team8 has taken over the past year in particular, in the face of all the adversity. I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of our employees and partners for their resilience, trust, and perseverance during this challenging time. Here are a few of the year's milestones we can be proud of: 💰Raising multiple funds📈  In March, we announced raising $500 million across three funds, taking us past $1 billion in assets under management. A definitive vote of confidence in our vision. 🚀 Momentum in exits 🚀  After last year’s nearly $1 billion combined acquisitions of Dig Security (acquired by Palo Alto Networks) and Talon (by Palo Alto Networks), we continued celebrating success with Gem Security (acquired by Wiz) and Planck (acquired by Applied Systems). 🤖 Doubling down on AI 🤖  Our 'Rethink AI' event in NYC, featuring heavyweights like Michael Lynton and Adm. Mike Rogers, was a highlight of our ongoing advocacy on the double-edged sword of AI. And next year, we’re taking it further with the launch of our in-house AI Excellence Center. 🌍The ‘CISO Village’ goes global 🌍  Held in California, our second CISO Village Summit in the states brought together over 100 cybersecurity leaders for a week of collaboration and fresh ideas, proving to be our most impactful yet. 🏙️ A new community, this time in Fintech and in NYC 💳  At the NYSE, our inaugural Fintech Village showcased the Team8 model's power across industries, bringing together innovators, leaders, and groundbreaking companies for an unforgettable day and new community. 🌱 Growing, growing, growing 🌱  This year, our HR team recruited 200 new people, adding new capabilities, functions, and expertise across Team8. This included bolstering our executive team with the addition of new partners Alon Huri (Co-founder of the Unicorn Next Insurance), and Ori Yankelev (OwnBackup) and the internal promotions of Asaf Azulay and Dror Grof. 👋 Not saying goodbye, but farewell 🫡  This month, my dear friend and Partner Nadav Zafrir began his next chapter as CEO of Check Point Software Technologies, living proof of the serious operational skills at play across Team8. To all the portfolio companies, founders, employees, and LP's who were a part of our journey, thank you for a memorable year.

    As we approach 2025, real-time payments and AI continue to reshape the financial landscape, bringing both unprecedented opportunities and heightened risks. In a recent interview with American Banker, Galia Beer-Gabel, Partner at Team8, highlighted the critical security challenges these trends pose. She emphasized how real-time, account-to-account payments expose users to scams with minimal recourse for reversing transfers and explained how AI is empowering scammers to automate and scale their attacks. The future demands innovation to outpace these evolving threats. If you're part of a fraud team that's keen to learn about new solutions to financial scams and social engineering attacks, we'd love to hear from you! Read more: https://lnkd.in/eWBJ2_AR

    Embedded fintech is transforming the way consumers interact with financial services. At Team8, we're bullish on the potential of embedding financial solutions directly into existing platforms, meeting users where they already are. Our portfolio company, april, exemplifies this by seamlessly integrating tax management into financial platforms, enhancing user engagement, and simplifying tax filing—all without the need for direct customer acquisition. In a recent interview with Fintech Meetup Chairman Sanjib Kalita, Team8 Managing Partner Rakefet Russak-Aminoach highlighted how embedded fintech tailors solutions within familiar platforms, driving efficiency, improving user experience, and improving fintech penetration.  Watch the full interview here:  https://lnkd.in/drZU9nss  If you're ready to build a company that redefines financial services, let’s talk!
