We cover their stories every day on the Finovate and FinDEVr blogs.  Check out our interview with Checkbook.io CTO PJ Gupta from last week as he talked about the critical role of bank APIs and tokenization. Or maybe look at our recent reporting on cloud security innovator, Prevoty, that is leveraging Language Theoretic Security technology to help defend against an ever-growing array of cyberthreats. And, of course, videos of every presentation since FinDEVr’s 2014 launch are available in our Video Archives. See for yourself what the fuss over FinDEVr is about.
