Step into the world of Cybersec Europe 2024 with Kappa Data!

Every year, Cybersec Europe brings together experts, startups, and innovators to discuss the latest developments and challenges in the field of cybersecurity. Kappa Data was present again this year with an enthusiastic team!

I am Margaux, a Multilingual Communication student at the University of Ghent, and I am doing a four-week internship with the dynamic marketing team at Kappa Data. For me, Cybersec Europe was a truly unique experience. I was immediately immersed in the world of cybersecurity and IT.

Join me in discovering what our booth looked like, which goodies we had to offer, which new colleagues we met (yes, they were there too!), and how we highlighted our vendors.

Spotlight: our vendors

Kappa Data wouldn’t exist without our vendors. That’s why we would like to highlight their achievements at Cybersec.

What were they presenting exactly?

Imagine you’re seeking advanced network solutions that are not only fast and stable but also flexible enough to meet all your needs. That’s where Juniper Networks comes in. With their extensive expertise in data center switching, security, and provider routing, they offer customized solutions perfectly tailored to your business. Whether you’re looking for advanced AI capabilities or seamless indoor location services, Juniper Networks is ready to help you take the next step in your network infrastructure.

Network security is also crucial in this era of cyber threats. Enter Barracuda Networks. They specialize in robust cybersecurity, offering detailed firewalls, effective email security, and a focus on the innovative Secure Edge SASE solution. They provide a comprehensive security solution tailored to the needs of modern organizations.

Sophos is a leading security vendor with comprehensive protection layers and global security operations centers to block hackers. Their portfolio defends against ransomware, malware, and more, while Sophos Central offers a unified cybersecurity ecosystem with open APIs.

Have you heard of Extreme Networks? Extreme Networks, through strategic acquisitions and continuous development, offers seamlessly integrated solutions whether you prefer cloud-based or on-premises networking. With options like price-efficient NAC, Cloud NAC, or hyper-segmentation, they provide readiness for network-level security standards like NIS2 or ISO27001.

Let’s not forget the importance of identity security. One Identity is here to help. If you’re looking for a partner focused on strengthening your security perimeter and centralizing access management with a focus on identity, then One Identity is the ideal choice.

SolarWinds has long been a key player in monitoring and optimizing large networks and applications, offering a holistic view with click-through capabilities and customizable dashboards to ensure precise visibility for every user profile in the organization.

However, the security of financial transactions is crucial as well. OneSpan offers banks an accessible MFA solution with innovative technologies like the FIDO2-compatible token for passwordless authentication, enabling them to meet the needs of modern digital banking.

Moreover, Europe has its own specific cybersecurity needs. Stormshield maintains a strict European focus, ensuring compliance with all necessary EU certifications and providing tailored security solutions for industrial environments.

Allied Telesis offers a versatile portfolio of switches for both SMBs and large-scale environments. With their AMF framework for automated deployments and zero-touch replacements, along with IEC 62443 certification, they meet the NIS 2 standards for industrial environments.

Didn’t have time to visit us at Cybersec Europe? No problem!

Cybersec Europe 2024 in style

If you paid us a visit at last year’s Cybersec Europe, you probably noticed that this year’s booth was twice the size. This way we could welcome more customers, and it also allowed our vendors more space to present their products and services.

Our gadgets and goodies were a big hit this year. Our Kappa socks, flower pots, matches and shopping cart coins could be found all over our booth. Our vendors also came prepared with lots of nice gifts.

Make sure to have a look at the pictures!

Tasty highlights

In the early morning, our booth quickly filled up with customers (and colleagues 😉), drawn by the enticing aroma of our freshly brewed coffee. The coffee was a big hit, sometimes we could barely keep up with all the orders behind the bar.

The real highlight, however, came at noon: our Kappa Kroques. From the Kappa Klassic to the Kappa Kreamy Salmon and the Kappa Krazy Italian, there was something to suit every taste! We were thrilled to see our Kappa Kroques bringing smiles to the faces of our customers, vendors, and colleagues.

Naturally, visitors could also indulge in a nice glass of wine, cava, or a refreshing soft drink at our bar. Most popular, though, were our unique draft beers, the Bronzen Baron and the Koperen Markies.

Cybersec: where networking steals the show

At Cybersec Europe, I had expected people to mainly come for a bite and drinks (and to grab some gadgets). Still, it was surprising and impressive to witness colleagues networking with vendors and customers, vendors enthusiastically showcasing their offerings, and our booth being overrun with visitors. At Cybersec, Kappa Data focuses on the essence: face-to-face networking and making connections.

Hopefully, the vendors and customers enjoyed this edition of Cybersec Europe as much as we did at Kappa Data.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth. See you next year!

We’re already looking forward to the next edition of Cybersec Europe. Hopefully, you’ll be there too!
