Praktische ervaringen met automatische RAG-evaluatie
Kwaliteit is dé bottleneck om LLM-toepassingen in productie te brengen. In deze blogpost onderzoeken we in hoeverre de kwaliteit van RAG-toepassingen automatisch kan gemeten worden.

GraphRAG – Vers une génération augmentée par les graphes de connaissances
Les systèmes RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) ont permis aux grands modèles de langage (LLM) de s’appuyer sur des données fiables. Mais ils restent limités, entre autres, dans leur capacité à contrôler les hallucinations. C’est là que GraphRAG entre en jeu : en combinant les LLM avec des graphes de connaissances, il améliore la précision, la transparence et la capacité de raisonnement des modèles.

Webinar: Crypto Agility – Prepare for the unexpected
Cryptography is essential in our society. Much of it is at risk of becoming insecure in the future due to powerful quantum computers. The current cryptography will have to be replaced by quantum-resistant alternatives. And even then, the crypto migrations will continue. Experience has taught us that such migrations are difficult, slow and expensive processes.

Tech talk Cybersec Europe – Cryptographic agility in practice
Due to the threat of powerful quantum computers in the not so distant future, we need to replace our cryptography. We do this migration from old to new cryptography once, and then we are done, right? Not exactly. We have multiple cryptographic migrations behind us and, most likely, multiple in front of us. A more

Keynote Cybersec Europe: Resilience against quantum (and other) threats with crypto agility
Slides of keynote given at Cybersec Europe 2025. Public key cryptography is essential in our society. We use it constantly, for instance to secure digital communication. Powerful quantum computers could break this in the long term and are already a risk today. Someone who intercepts secure communication today may indeed be able to decipher it
