**Join us in Zurich for an inspiring evening of Romantic chamber music with the Ardens Trio, in a special concert supported by Mission Possible VC 🎹🎻**
This performance brings together three internationally accomplished musicians for a night of passion, virtuosity, and refined ensemble artistry ⭐
The ensemble features pianist Pier Carmine Garzillo, a prizewinning performer who graduated with highest honors at just 17 and has appeared in prestigious venues such as the Musikverein in Vienna and the Scriabin Museum in Moscow. He is currently Piano Professor at the “D. Cimarosa” Conservatory in Avellino.
Pier is joined by violinist Federica Severini, who trained in Naples, Rome, Lugano, and at the renowned Stauffer and Chigiana Academies. She performs as 1st Violin Tutti with La Verdi Symphony Orchestra and recently won the Tutti Violin position with the RAI National Symphony Orchestra.
Completing the trio is cellist Anzhe Zuo, a Zurich-based Chinese musician and international prizewinner who performs as a soloist and chamber musician across Europe and plays a historic 1900 Rudolf Heckel cello.

Secure Credential Management for OpenClaw
**Location:** ETH Zürich, near Polyterrasse (Universitätstrasse 6, Building CAB, Room F88)
**Event Topic:** One of OpenClaw's great strengths is its direct command-line access to user space—this flexibility enables rapid development of automation workflows without the friction of rigid APIs or sandboxed environments. But by default, this means the agent has plaintext access to all connected service credentials, whether Gmail, Calendar, WhatsApp, or others. This creates a broad attack surface and limits our ability to enforce fine-grained access policies.
In this meetup, we'll explore a practical architecture for credential isolation using macOS user spaces. We'll walk through how to deploy separate service proxies, each running in its own user context, to isolate credentials per service. These proxies act as gateways between the OpenClaw agent and your accounts, enabling you to implement arbitrary access policies—rate limiting, scope restrictions, audit logging, or whatever your threat model requires.
The good news: this architecture is simple enough to vibecode. You don't need deep systems expertise to get started—we'll show you how to scaffold the setup quickly and iterate from there.
Whether you're running OpenClaw for personal automation or exploring agent deployments in more sensitive contexts, this session will give you hands-on techniques for tightening your security posture without sacrificing the rapid iteration that makes OpenClaw powerful.

Deep dive into data streaming security
**IMPORTANT PLEASE RSVP:** https://www.jug.ch/html/events/2026/data-streaming-security.html
\*\*\*
ROOM: PH Zürich, Lagerstrasse 2, 8090 Zürich, Building LAB, Room H015
AGENDA: 18:15-19:30h: Talk incl. Q/A
* After the talk, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and network with the speaker and professional colleagues over beer and rich finger foods.
**SPEAKER**: Olena Kutsenko **COMPANY**: [Confluent](https://www.confluent.io/)
Data streaming is powering everything from fraud detection and real-time analytics to patient monitoring and order fulfillment. But as the role of streaming grows, so does the risk - because many streaming platforms, like Apache Kafka, aren't secure by default.
In this talk, we'll take a practical look at data streaming security through the lens of Kafka, one of the most widely adopted streaming platforms in the world. We'll walk through what can go wrong - real examples of exposing 14M patient-doctor messages, or years of real-time delivery info to the internet - and what it takes to do it right.
We'll cover the key pillars of securing a streaming system: encryption in transit and at rest, access control, monitoring, and key management. Along the way, we'll look at the trade-offs like disk encryption vs. end-to-end encryption, what is behind field-level and envelope encryption, and the realities of using customer-managed keys in regulated industries.
We'll also explore how streaming security has evolved, how real vulnerabilities (like CVE-2019-12399) highlight the need for patching and monitoring, and what successful multi-layered security looks like in production - from financial institutions to healthcare platforms.
If you're building, running, or scaling streaming systems, this talk will help you see the security blind spots and give you concrete steps to protect the data flowing through your pipelines.

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers
The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way?
This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents.
Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to:
Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture.
Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases.
Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI.
Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem.
Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Compensation Data
**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data**
Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics.
The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth.
The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical.
(note: we are back at Rev1 this month!)
**About Our Speaker**
[Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos.
