Architect Cafe #13 - The Threat We Didn't See Coming

An exclusive invite-only gathering of approximately 25 IT architects from client organizations and Team Rockstars, held in the prestigious Skybox at Johan Cruijff ArenA.

Event Overview

This unique event will combine professional development with entertainment, featuring Oscar van der Leij's presentation "The Threat We Didn't See Coming" which explores threat modeling in enterprise security. The session will address a critical issue: many organizations think too late about security protection, particularly after incidents have already occurred.

Key Topics

  • Proactive threat identification
  • Integrating security thinking into architecture
  • Learning from near-misses and incidents
  • Building security awareness into organizational culture
  • Moving from reactive to proactive security posture

Architecture Dilemmas

The event will emphasize peer learning and real-world problem-solving over formal presentations. "The most valuable insights don't emerge from slides, but from conversations between professionals." Participants will address real architectural challenges from their own work through interactive breakout sessions, creating an environment where architects can openly discuss challenges and share solutions.

The evening will culminate with viewing the Ajax vs. Galatasaray Champions League match from the premium skybox, providing a unique networking environment for approximately 25 IT architects representing various organizations and backgrounds.
