In Nets, we have created a strong Nordic supplier of payment, card and information solutions with a staff of more than 2.700. Nets' business objective is to become a leader in the Nordic Region and Northern Europe.
In recent years, we have seen an elimination race in Europe among suppliers of payment, card and information solutions. The winners will be those that are simultaneously able to consolidate their position and to create growth in new markets.
International customers want a single supplier that can handle payments in all their markets. They require us to be able to consistently and cost-effectively handle payments in the market where they are present and demand our services.
Our strong market platform especially in Denmark and Norway opens up an array of ways for Nets to improve customer support domestically as well as in the Nordic and European markets. We will protect our position in Denmark and Norway, and continue to function as a hub of joint development of the payment infrastructure in those countries. Our strong domestic platforms are also the springboard to a stronger market position in the rest of the Nordic Region and in Northern Europe.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Slide: Introduction
Good morning!
Thank you for the opportunity to be here today to tell you about Trustly and the exciting development concerning digitisation of bank accounts.
My name is Johan Nord and I have worked in various roles in banking and finance for the past 10 years.
Most recently as a Director of Societé Generales investment bank with a focus on financial institutions.
Since this past summer, I have worked as the CCO of Trustly and a member of its management group.
Slide: FinTech scene (1/2)
Trustly is a part of the Swedish FinTech scene, which is exciting from both a European and a global perspective.
Sweden is a small country that has received a proportionally large share of the investments in the sector in recent years.
Slide: FinTech scene (2/2)
In Sweden, Stockholm accounted for more than 30% of the FinTech investments in 2014 and Trustly received the third largest investment after Klarna and iZettle.
Trustly thereby gained new part-owners in the form of Bridgepoint Development Capital, a very well-reputed European venture capital company.
We are very please with their confidence in us and their active involvement in the company.
Slide: What is Trustly?
What is Trustly?
Trustly provides a payment solution based on bank payments for commercial activities online.
The linchpin in Trustly’s product range is based on being able to carry out inbound and outbound payments on behalf of consumers and retailers, based on their balance in their Internet bank.
The company is a licensed payment institute and is under the supervision of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
To briefly explain how it works, an online retailer integrates Trustly on its site and the consumer can use his or her bank account to buy goods and services.
Trustly’s products have several areas of application that generate added value for both consumers and retailers.
Slide: Verticals
The company works in five customer segments. They are:
E-commerce - consumers buy products and pay directly from their bank account. We take care of return payments in an automatic process, reducing an otherwise large administrative burden for the retailer
Travel industry - this is a segment that generally handles large value orders, which makes it practical for the consumers to pay directly from their bank account
A number of financial companies use Trustly’s products. Among other services, we provide fast inbound payments to PayPal’s e-wallet. Skrill and SAS Travel cash offer their customers payments with the same top-up solution.
In marketplaces, we collaborate with Blocket and Tripwell to name a few.
Trustly accepts the payment from the buyer and forwards it to the seller. This can be compared with what is known as an escrow product. The product generates trust in the transaction between people who do not know each other.
and in Gaming, where gaming companies offer their customers the possibility of making both deposits and withdrawals from their gaming account online.
Slide - Units
E-commerce is constantly developing, especially in terms of the kinds of units used to make purchases.
Just a few years ago, almost all e-commerce took place on desktops.
Smartphones and tablets have taken a growing share of the market.
At Trustly, we see a clear trend where the mobile phone will continue to gain ground, at the same time that our solution is adapted to the mobile, desktop and tablet.
Slide: The bank account - how it is digitised
Trustly’s vision is to make bank payments simpler and easier and we are benefited by the technical shift now taking place at the banks to improve userfriendliness and the user experience for consumers.
The bank account has long been the hub of the financial life of consumers, with the vast majority receiving their salary there and many keeping savings there.
When Internet banking arrived in the 1990s, the bank account did not keep up as a practical alternative for online payments.
This created an opening for the alternatives that were more consumer friendly at the time, like PayPal, invoices, and cards.
This was due in part to the secure, but complicated, methods that customers were forced to use to log in and use their bank account.
At the same time, the banks did not have a solution suitable to the needs of retailers to be able to manage records and reporting.
Slide: Development of authentication methods
But things are happening at the banks
The European Banking Authority (EBA) has developed regulations for secure online payments.
‘Two factor authentication’ is being talked about. The anatomy of a secure authentication is:
‘Something you have’ - a mobile phone or security token
‘Something you know’ - a code or an identity number
A lot of hardware used to be needed to reach the Internet bank.
Thanks to digital signing, now supported by the Swedish banks, authentication is not only secure, but also much more practical.
Nearly 90% of all of Trustly’s mobile payments in Sweden are authenticated and verified by Mobile Bank ID.
More than 60% use Mobile Bank ID for their payments on the desktop.
Mobile Bank ID has truly digitised the bank account for real in Sweden, but this change is also beginning to take place in other countries.
Slide: Continued development of authentication methods
You could even say that exciting things are beginning to happen within the banks.
The banks are adopting technology for voice and face recognition, for fingerprints and so on to make it easier, and still secure, for the consumer to authenticate themselves.
i.e. “Something you are”
Simplicity is crucial for the bank account to remain relevant to consumers and will thereby further increase Trustly’s relevance in the payment service ecosystem.
Slide: The bank account in Europe
Europe - In Europe, it is hard to live a normal life without access to one’s bank account. Nearly 95% of the residents have access to a bank account, which makes it the dominant source of money in the consumers’ lives.
Slide: Online bank payments are a relevant payment method in Europe
From a European perspective, bank payments are one of the most important payment methods for e-commerce. A few countries stand out, such as the Netherlands, Finland and Poland.
The reason that consumers in these countries prefer bank payments is a combination of historic behaviour and the fact that there is an adequate service for bank payments.
It is worth noting that many countries had no practical solutions to make online bank payments, which is clearly visible in the lower part of this graph.
Slide: National alternatives
There are a number of national bank payment initiatives that are created by the local banks. Swish is one example that everyone knows, iDeal in the Netherlands and EPS in Austria are two others.
These solutions are popular in their respective domestic markets and have achieved high degrees of use among consumers.
These national solutions constitute a positive impulse in that they drive the digitisation of the bank account and educate the consumers.
Slide: Cross-border trade
But there have been limitations in the national initiatives
To-date, they have not reached beyond their country’s borders and consumer purchasing behaviour is rapidly changing. A large and growing part of online retailing is now taking place across the borders in Europe.
About one out of two consumers in the largest e-commerce economies have bought goods from abroad. The largest exporters of e-commerce in Europe are the UK and Germany and the Nordics are in a respectable third place.
With more cross-border business, payment solutions are needed that work throughout the entire European market.
Slide: Our reason for existing
Many of the enabling components for the bank account to make a strong comeback as a payment alternative are now in place.
1. There is a large market; 95% of all Europeans have a bank account.
2. There is an underlying consumer preference in large parts of Europe.
3. New digital authentication methods make the bank account easy to use in connection with e-commerce.
What has been missing so far are players who offer bank payments for e-commerce throughout Europe.
Slide: Trustly’s expansion
Yesterday, Trustly was in 8 European countries.
I am proud to officially announce that, as of today, Trustly is now in 29 European countries.
As you can understand, fantastic teamwork has been the foundation for this strong expansion and I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the company for their incredible work to reach this shared milestone.
Trustly’s vision is to enable bank payments in Europe and we are now finally European for real.
In connection with this, the company has made progress on the journey we began seven years ago, and our work to offer even simpler and easier bank payments continues.
Conclusion
Thank you for the opportunity to talk here today.
Representatives from Trustly will stay on during the afternoon to partake of the exciting developments in FinTech
