Simon Thomas Dejung, an entrepreneur, cyber risk specialist, and founder of CyQrd AG, is recognized as a leading authority in the German-speaking region on the convergence of cyber security, risk management, and economic decision-making.
He reframes one of the most significant uncertainties in management into a clear question for decision-making:
“Should we allocate 2 million to cyber security, or face potential losses of 200 million?”
In numerous board discussions, a crucial question often remains unresolved: “What is truly at risk?” This is where Simon Thomas Dejung provides clarity. He offers certainty in decision-making amid uncertainty in a domain frequently dominated by intuition, alarmism, or misleading precision.
