As the founder of CyQrd AG, Simon Thomas Dejung helps companies quantify cyber and AI risks and translate them into informed management decisions.
His approach: expressing risks in financial terms rather than hiding them behind abstract scores, heat maps, and traffic-light indicators. This makes it clear which investments are worthwhile, which measures should be prioritized, and which risks should be consciously accepted or transferred.
“Should we invest two million in cybersecurity and AI governance—or risk a loss of 200 million?”
Simon Thomas Dejung’s Presentation Topics
- Cyber Risk & Investment
“The Two-Million-or-200-Million Question” How to reliably quantify AI and cyber risks and evaluate security investments based on business criteria.
- AI Risks, Regulation & Governance
“From the EU AI Act to Effective AI Governance” How companies translate risks such as incorrect decisions, hallucinations, bias, data loss, and liability into clear responsibilities, controls, and manageable processes.
- Leadership & Decision-Making
“Decision-Making Under Uncertainty” How executives make informed and responsible decisions regarding digital risks without needing to know every technical detail.
- Governance, Regulation & Resilience
“Why Regulation Alone Does Not Create Resilience” How NIS2, DORA, and the EU AI Act only create added value when governance, risk management, business continuity, and corporate culture work together effectively.
What the Audience Will Take Away
