The digital ecosystem has arrived at a critical inflection point: the new security perimeter is no longer the network; it is identity. As organizations in finance and education have aggressively adopted hybrid cloud models and open APIs, their attack surface has dissolved. Traditional defenses are struggling, and sophisticated, AI-driven phishing campaigns are now targeting the weakest link: human and machine identity.

In response to this clear and present threat, B9F7 Buzz NetWorks S.L., a B9F7 Stark Internet Service B.V. company, is announcing the full integration of its advanced Digital Identity Framework into our core Unified Security Fabric. This strategic move transitions our security philosophy from a defensive posture to one of proactive, continuous verification. It is the engine that will power the “Demonstrable Trust” that we have identified as the new standard for digital business. Security can no longer be based on where you are, but must be based on who or what you are, proven moment-to-moment.

This integration is not merely an add-on service. It is a fundamental re-architecting of how our cloud, security, and digital trust services interoperate. It is designed to solve the two most complex identity challenges in our core sectors: securing machine-to-machine (API) communication in FinTech, and managing human identity at scale in EdTech.

For our FinTech partners, the implications are immediate. The high-speed world of digital finance runs on APIs. Our new framework secures this critical “machine-to-machine” communication at a cryptographic level. We are extending our robust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and SSL/TLS management to provide verifiable, automated, and non-repudiable identities for every microservice and API endpoint. This prevents sophisticated attacks where malicious actors attempt to impersonate a legitimate service to intercept data or manipulate transactions.

When a customer initiates a transaction, our framework ensures that the identity of the user’s device, the application, and the backend server are all mutually authenticated. This secures the entire chain, from the user’s login to the core ledger, helping our partners exceed compliance mandates like PSD2 and build a provably secure platform.

In the EdTech sector, this framework solves the critical challenge of the “unified digital campus.” A university manages tens of thousands of users—students, faculty, administrators, and alumni—all accessing sensitive data from different devices and locations. Our Digital Identity Framework unifies this. It enables secure, passwordless access across all applications, from the learning management system to the financial aid portal.

This protects student records, faculty research, and financial data by ensuring that the person accessing a high-value database is provably the individual authorized to do so, not just someone with a stolen password. It replaces vulnerable, knowledge-based authentication with modern, strong authentication, directly addressing the threat of AI-powered credential harvesting.

As a B9F7 Stark Internet Service B.V. company, we are in a unique position to deliver this converged solution. We are connecting our global-scale, resilient infrastructure to a new standard of verifiable identity. This framework provides the absolute, auditable proof required for Demonstrable Trust. Our partners can now not only repel attacks but also prove to their regulators and customers that their platform is secure at its very foundation.
