📈 Our WYNDEX (What’s Your Number Index) update for today:

The WYNDEX fell 3.38% this week, underperforming U.S. markets as the SaaS selloff deepened. Cyber stocks reacted sharply to new AI-driven security tools, raising disruption concerns, while ZIM surged on acquisition news. Yonatan and Yael break down what the “SaaSpocalypse” means for Israeli tech and the broader market.

🔎 Our Long Play today features Ami Daniel, co-founder and CEO of Windward, to discuss how maritime intelligence has become central to today’s geopolitical tensions. From the rise of Russia’s “dark fleet” and Iranian threats to global shipping routes to the ZIM acquisition and the role of AI in defense tech, Ami explains why control of the seas is increasingly shaping global power.
