Matthias, Samuel and Teun are still walking around with massive smiles on their faces… 👀 They’re still reminiscing about CyberSec last week!  Together with Cronos Nederland and Cronos Security, they explored the future of cyber security. A challenging future, where cyber threats are intensifying across all sectors. But also an exciting one.  A future where API Management and API Security will play a pivotal role in building a secure world. 🌍💡 🗣️ In their talk, they covered:  ✔️ Key trends in APIM and their impact on API security.  ✔️ A hands-on demo about how easy it is to exploit APIs with insufficient security.  ✔️ How maturity can strengthen, safeguard, and evolve your security approach.  ✔️ The shift from an IT-driven to a business-driven focus as API maturity grows. How was your CyberSec experience?

Matthias, Samuel (i8c) are ready to rock 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰 '24! Their take on the blind spot in #cybersecurity?  👉 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗔𝗣𝗜𝘀. These threats impact a range of technical roles—from integration architects and application developers to DevOps engineers. API security is essential for building a secure data flow. A unique opportunity to gain insights in ✅ API security, ✅ API governance and ✅ API Management from various perspectives. 👋💡 Catch them now at CyberHub 3 from 2:00-3:30 pm for “The Blind Spot in Cybersecurity.”

Providing uniform access to your internal data sources for users… …but are these users managing different systems❓ And how do you build trust with an external partner to give their users access to your systems❓ That may sound like a massive struggle. 🤯 ▶️ But that’s exactly where 𝐎𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡2 comes into play. OAuth2 allows for 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 and 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 access management, ensuring that only trusted users gain access. And our Edwin wouldn’t be Edwin if he didn’t jump into action right away to bring OAuth2 closer to you! He’s created a “security menu card,” allowing you to mix and match various components based on your specific needs. Interested? Here to help! 👋

✅ Optimizing pension rights ✅ Managing substantial disbursements ✅ Ensuring timely, accurate, tax-free payments These are the core commitments of Belgium’s Federale Pensioendienst (FPD) - Service fédéral des Pensions (SFP) (SFPD). To make it happen, their application ecosystem relies on flawless integration and architecture to keep systems connected. 💡 But as data grew, so did the need for insight and control. 👣 That’s where our team stepped in with a powerful applied observability strategy, turning data into real-time insights for seamless operations.
