Erez Yalon is appointed as VP Cybersecurity Technology, as Pentera scales its leadership team to accelerate the company’s AI-powered exposure validation strategy

BOSTON, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pentera, the Exposure Validation Company, appointed  Yael Ben Arie as Chief Product Officer. The move follows the recent addition of Erez Yalon as VP Cybersecurity Technology, marking a deliberate expansion of Pentera’s Tech leadership bench as the company scales its platform and drives forward the next chapter of agentic security validation.

“Yael and Erez are joining at a pivotal point in our growth,” said Amitai Ratzon, CEO of Pentera. “We’ve built something special: a strong product foundation, a bold vision, an exceptional team, and solid leadership. The market ahead is massive. Yael’s product leadership and Erez’s research depth strengthen our ability to keep leading the AI-powered security validation category.”

Yael  joins Pentera’s senior leadership team to own product strategy and the continued evolution of the platform as the market shifts toward AI-driven continuous validation, evidence-based decisions, and measurable resilience. She brings more than two decades of experience across product, R&D, and business leadership. Most recently she was General Manager of Data Fabric at Cloudera, following Cloudera’s acquisition of Octopai, where she was CEO. Earlier, she was General Manager and VP of R&D at SafeBreach, helping establish the breach and attack simulation (BAS) category, and led teams at Trusteer (IBM Security).

“AI is rewriting the rules of cybersecurity, raising the speed, scale, and sophistication of both enterprise SecOps and attacker behavior,” said Yael Ben Arie, Chief Product Officer at Pentera. “That is what drew me to Pentera: the opportunity to help security teams move beyond assumptions and periodic testing with continuous evidence of their real-world cyber resilience. Pentera has the technology, products, talent, culture, and customer base to make security validation a must-have capability for every large organization.”

Erez brings 15 years in cybersecurity, much of it spent shaping where the field goes next. Over more than a decade at Checkmarx, he founded and led Checkmarx Zero, the company’s global research division spanning application and software supply chain security, and he co-authored the OWASP API Security Top 10, a standard now used across the industry. He also founded AppSec Village at DEF CON, one of the world’s largest application security communities. At Pentera, Erez serves as an evangelist for the company’s security research, collaborating with peers, partners, and industry forums to reinforce Pentera’s leadership in the market.

Binance TradFi Perpetuals Gain Greater Traction as Multi-Asset Strategy Takes Hold

10 of 15 perpetual futures on Binance are TradFi perpetuals ranging from equities to commodities

ISLAMABAD, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance’s push to bring traditional finance (TradFi) assets onto its crypto-native platform is showing clear signs of traction, according to real-time derivatives data. A snapshot of the top 15 perpetual contracts on Binance by 24-hour volume shows that roughly two-thirds are now linked to traditional assets (equities, ETFs, and commodities) with the crypto perpetuals led by BTC, ETH and SOL.

The top 15 list is led by SANDUSDT (SanDisk) perpetual contract with ~$6.87 bn 24-hour trading volume on Binance as of 19 August, 9:00am UTC. This was approximately 22% of the 24-hour SanDisk trading volume on Nasdaq.[1]

The other top perpetual contracts by current trading volume includes other single-name equities, equity-linked products, and commodity contracts such as XAGUSDT (Silver) (~$826 mil trading vol on Binance), alongside established crypto perps.

“The shift validates Binance’s stated mission to make its platform a multi-asset financial super app where users can access crypto and traditional asset classes within a single account. By offering USDT-margined perpetual contracts on ETFs, commodities and more, Binance has effectively extended crypto-style round-the-clock trading to assets that were previously confined to traditional market hours,” said Shunyet Jan, Head of Exchange and Trading at Binance.

Recent industry data supports this trend. Weekly stock-linked perpetual volume on centralized exchanges has surged roughly 79x since the start of 2026, with Binance identified as the dominant venue for equity perps. In July alone, Binance accounted for about 76% of equity perpetual volume across tracked exchanges, highlighting its central role in the convergence of crypto and TradFi trading.
