Recently, Dutch supermarket chain Albert Heijn, part of Ahold Delhaize, experienced a cybersecurity incident that disrupted several services, including online deliveries. It happened in the Netherlands, but incidents like this can happen anywhere.

When something goes wrong, every second counts. Security teams need to figure out what happened, when it happened, and how to respond. But what if the systems they're relying on don't even agree on the time?

It might sound like a small detail, but it can make a big difference. When timestamps across networks, servers and applications don't match, it becomes much harder to piece together what happened and understand how an incident unfolded.

That's why having a reliable, trusted time source matters more than you might think.

In our latest story, we explain why accurate time is such an important part of cybersecurity, and how it helps organisations become more resilient.

We often think about backup systems and redundant connections when it comes to digital resilience. But what about time?

Relying on a single timing source can create a hidden vulnerability. Just like connectivity, time should not be a single point of failure.

In our latest blog, "Resilience by Design: Removing Time as a Single Point of Failure", we explain why building resilience into your timing infrastructure matters.

Good connections depend on good timing.

Tonight at National Institute for Subatomic Physics - Nikhef, we’re putting the spotlight on AMS-IX Time and the collaboration behind it.

Jan Semmelhack kicked off the evening by sharing why precise and reliable timing matters for digital infrastructure. Now we’re heading into the Time Lab, where Reindert Hommed & Baudewijn Baudoin from is giving our guests a closer look at the technology and the collaboration between AMS-IX and TallGrass.
are
The Internet is built on collaboration. Networks, infrastructure, technology partners and people all play their part, with Nikhef an important part of this ecosystem.

Tonight brings those connections to life: sharing knowledge, exploring the technology, and connecting the people behind the Internet.

A big thank you to Nikhef for co-hosting our Autumn Drinks tonight, and especially to Marieke Hopman and Eveliene Schram-Post for making the evening possible.

Good connections matter. And good timing does too.

Since launching EG-IX in April 2022 together with Telecom Egypt https://www.linkedin.com/company/telecom-egypt/, we have seen steady growth in the community and the traffic exchanged in Cairo.

By Q3 2026, the number of connected networks had grown from 4 to 19, almost five times the number at launch.

Peak traffic reached 945 Gigabit per second, almost three times the level recorded in 2025. In the first nine months of 2026, the total traffic volume reached 1.22 Exabyte, already more than two and a half times the volume exchanged during the whole of 2025.

These developments demonstrate the growing role of EG-IX in supporting local interconnection in Egypt and strengthening connectivity across Africa and the Middle East.

Internet traffic never sleeps. Streaming continues to grow, broadcast is moving towards IP, and AI agents could bring even more 24/7 traffic to our networks.

The Traffic Radar initiative explores how Content Providers, CDNs and ISPs can work together to better anticipate traffic peaks and optimise network capacity.

Attending the European Peering Forum in Paris next week? Don’t miss the Traffic Radar working group’s session. Together with our Innovation Manager Jan van Boesschoten, the group will share its ideas on information exchange and how Traffic Radar could be governed and developed.
