Highlights of 2019 (some links are in Dutch)

Some of the highlights of SURFconext in 2019 include the implementation of the rolling updates, the approach to vulnerability that came to light during a planned security audit, and the high scores from the customer satisfaction survey among institutions and service providers.

What's on the 2020 agenda?

In 2020 we will start working with API security and what institutions can and want to do with it. We also want to inform institutions more broadly about the possibilities offered by SURFsecureID. In the area of innovation, a major pilot will be running with eduID and we are launching the SURF Research Accessmanagement service, now known as Science Collaboration Zone. We are also pleased to invite you to the What's Next @SURFconext 2020 seminar on 7 April.
