Join us to learn how Stackable ensures your digital supply chain remains secure in light of emerging regulatory requirements, including the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in Europe, NIS-2, and Executive Order 14028 in the U.S. Get an exclusive look inside our operations and discover the measures we take to provide our customers with the regulatory-required "state of the art" security – even for handling highly sensitive data. Key topics covered: ▪️ Our journey towards accurate and signed Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) ▪️ Effective vulnerability management for open-source products, including VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange) in machine-readable CSAF format ▪️ Securing the supply chain with Docker image scanning and signing ▪️ Participation in standardisation: We are members of Ecma International and DIN (German Institute for Standardisation), contributing to defining key standards Learn how to make your data platform safe and resilient for the future! 🛡️

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 👏 Last week, the #GaiaX journey reached an exciting milestone at the final event in Forum Digitale Technologien | Berlin As part of this initiative, we’ve seen incredible progress in creating trusted, federated data spaces across Europe. We’re proud to have been part of this event and to present #MarispaceX together with our consortium partners, where Stackable contributes to developing foundational technology for digitizing the ocean. In an age of hybrid warfare and the growing threat of underwater sabotage, the digitisation of the maritime environment is more important than ever. Our data space provides Gaia-X compliant access to maritime data and government data services, ensuring secure subscriber registration, access management and seamless data integration. In addition to preparing for monitoring critical maritime infrastructure, Marispace-X has been able to showcase results such as the detection of munitions in the sea, the distribution of seagrass meadows as CO2 reservoirs using satellite data, and data visualisation of the seabed beneath wind farms. Of course, the future of Gaia-X was also discussed at the programme's closing event: The concept of data spaces is becoming more widely used, and programmes such as IPCEI-CIS and Manufacturing-X promise to take the Gaia-X vision even further. Many thanks to all collaborators and to the BMWK for sponsoring and to Acatech for organising such an inspiring meeting 🙏 IONOS Fraunhofer IGD GEOMAR Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel north.io GmbH Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel Universität Rostock #DataSpaces #AI #YourDataYourPlatform #OpenSource

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 👀 Couldn’t join us for our TechTalk on Mastering Supply Chain Security for Financial Services?  Well here’s the recap! We dove deep into how Stackable ensures a secure digital supply chain in the face of regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), NIS-2 in Europe, and Executive Order 14028 in the U.S.. 🔑 Key Highlights: Lars shared insights on upcoming regulations and our contributions to standardisation activities. Lukas gave a hands-on introduction to our vulnerability management processes, including: ▪️ Generating and scanning SBOMs ▪️ Evaluating vulnerabilities with VEX statements in CSAF format ▪️ Providing customers with actionable feedback for enhanced security And yes, we even explained what SBOMs have to do with cake recipes 🍰 Curious? You’ll have to catch the recording!

𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐁𝐈 𝐚𝐭 #DOAG2024 How do you build a scalable, open-source BI stack that’s cloud-native and easy to deploy? At the DOAG 2024 conference, our CPO Sönke and Janis Ax from ORDIX AG shared their approach in a talk titled: "Breaking the Chains: Open Source as the Master Key for BI." They showcased how Apache NiFi and Superset, deployed on Kubernetes, can unlock powerful, lock-in-free data solutions. And with Kubernetes Operators and Infrastructure-as-Code, it’s easier than you’d think! 🙌 The conference itself was buzzing – 1,500 attendees, countless tracks, and AI leading the conversation everywhere. We also loved TeamBank AG’s talk on Software Supply Chain Security! Were you at DOAG 2024? What inspired you most? #StackableDataPlatform #YourDataYourPlatform

From productive work sessions to Bavarian traditions, we packed each day with great moments 😊 Here’s a quick look back: Many of us traveled in on Sunday, ready to hit the ground running on Monday with plenty to tackle. Tuesday was packed – we enjoyed Lars’s talk on “Patch handling with git and jujutsu”, followed by a proper Bavarian Brotzeit with Weißwurst for lunch. We wrapped up Tuesday with a fantastic team dinner 🤤 Wednesday we focused on office work and a security workshop. We also teamed up with Synabi Business Solutions GmbH, another part of the b.telligent family, for a workshop to dive into new ideas and perspectives that we're excited to bring forward. Also a big thank you to Synabi for letting us stay in their offices for our on-prem week! We ended the day with a beer tasting at Bierothek 🍻 - a night to remember! Before most of us head home today, Thursday was packed with lots of face-to-face collaboration, which is pretty unusual for us as we're normally a completely remote company. On the work side, our highlights included improving security vulnerability management, overhauling our Kubernetes testing infrastructure, and prepping for our upcoming Release R24.11, which is set for mid-November 💪 Thanks to everyone for making it an awesome week – both productive and filled with fun memories. Here’s to the next one! 🎊 Julian Eberhardt Thomas Ebner Christoph Rugo Alexander Sitte #YourDataYourPlatform #StackableDataPlatform #TeamBuilding

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 Smart Country Convention 𝐢𝐧 hub27 Berlin! 👏 Our COO Stefan Igel had an amazing time catching up with well-known partners, meeting new faces, and diving deep into some serious #PublicSector conversations. Special shoutout to Claudio Serrano, Jan Schruff, Tim Kartali, Daniel Benad, Constantin Steppeler, and everyone else from the IONOS Sales Team – thank you for your hospitality at the IONOS stand! The partner country Latvia not only demonstrated what successful digitalisation of administration can look like (you can even get divorced online in Latvia 🤯), but was also able to offer delicious beer and red wine in the evening. Oh, and let's not forget the AWS stand: the free burgers were legendary 🍔😋 Our key takeaway? Digitalizing the public sector in Germany takes patience – it's a slow but steady process. But what's really exciting is seeing how #DataPlatforms are making waves, and #GenAI is being explored in some fascinating government use cases. A much-noticed example was the chatbot of DATEN:RAUM:FREIBURG, which can answer all questions about the city – presented by our partners codecentric AG and Benz + Walter GmbH. Looking forward to what’s next and already excited about future opportunities 😊 #YourDataYourPlatform #StackableDataPlatform #SCCon24

⏳ 𝐍𝐈𝐒𝟐 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧: 𝐈𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐄𝐔 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝? By next week, NIS2 should be adopted as national law in all EU member states. While some countries have already passed or drafted legislation, there are others where the status is unclear. In Germany, for example, NIS2 legislation is now expected in early 2025, well past the original October deadline. 🤔 At Stackable, we understand the challenges of complying with evolving regulations. Our open source data platform simplifies compliance by helping organizations securely manage their data infrastructure without adding complexity. How about you? Are you ready for NIS2, or still navigating the implementation process?

So we recently gave GenAI a try at creating content by generating a sample AI episode in podcast style from our tech docs. In less than an hour (!), we had scanned our documents and turned them into an engaging podcast. The results were quite interesting! We'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
