Hey community!

If you weren’t able to make it to the PHP Tech event, don’t worry! Here’s a recap:.

The Luxembourg CakeFest Satellite event kicked off with an opening ceremony where @kevin welcomed everyone and set the stage for a day full of engaging talks.

Open Source Threat Intelligence using MISP - Andras Ikoldy, Project Core Lead Developer, MISP

Andras Iklody, then introduced attendees to MIPS, an open source threat intelligence tool built on CakePHP. You can watch the video to get valuable insights into improving your organisations security using MISP, including how to detect and mitigate potential threats. Check out the presentation here.

Service Injection talk - Juan Pablo Ramirez, Back-end Developer, Passbolt

Afterwards, Juan Pablo Ramirez gave a talk about service injection. Juan explained how the Dependency Injection Container (which was introduced with the version 4.2 of CakePHP) revolutionises passbolt’s development methods. He showed how it enables client-specific implementations that are not only fast to unit test, but also easy to maintain. View Juan’s full talk on YouTube.

Secure Authentication with Passkeys - Remy Bertot, Chief Technical Officer, Passbolt

Remy started his presentation by thanking the CakePHP community for their support and for providing a platform to host a PHP event in Luxembourg. He then delved into the much-discussed alternative to traditional passwords – passkeys. His presentation offers valuable insights into the benefits and what the future holds for passkeys.
