Cyberattacks are now among the greatest risks facing businesses.
Ransomware brings production facilities to a standstill, sensitive data is stolen, and state-sponsored hacker groups deliberately target critical infrastructure. At the same time, artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the threat landscape. It makes cyberattacks faster and more scalable – and raises new security questions as AI systems become increasingly autonomous and make decisions that can no longer be fully predicted or controlled.
Cybersecurity has therefore long since become more than an issue for IT departments. It affects corporate strategy, innovation, international cooperation, and the trust of customers and partners. Our experts examine the subject from four different perspectives.
Geoff White – The business models of cybercrime
Cybercrime has become a global industry. Investigative journalist Geoff White has spent more than two decades researching hackers, money laundering, fraud, and the business models behind digital crime. His investigations reveal just how professionally organised cybercrime has become and why companies need to understand the structures behind these attacks in order to protect themselves effectively.
Jamie Bartlett – When technology changes society
Cybersecurity is not only a technical challenge, but a societal one as well. Jamie Bartlett analyses the impact of disinformation, artificial intelligence, social media, and the dark web on politics, business, and society. His perspective demonstrates how closely digital security is now linked to trust, information, and social stability.
Jürgen Stock – Cybercrime knows no borders
Digital threats do not stop at national borders. As the long-serving Secretary General of Interpol, Jürgen Stock has first-hand knowledge of the international dimension of organised cybercrime. He explains why global cooperation is crucial to effectively combating cross-border digital threats.
Dennis-Kenji Kipker – When AI itself becomes a security risk
Prof. Dr Dennis-Kenji Kipker focuses on the legal and strategic aspects of cybersecurity and digital resilience. He also examines the new risks posed by artificial intelligence: What happens when AI systems become increasingly autonomous, develop unexpected behaviours, or move beyond human control? He explains why cybersecurity today extends far beyond protecting IT systems and has become a strategic leadership responsibility.
Why This Matters for Businesses
Cybersecurity is now critical to competitiveness, innovation, and resilience. The rapid development of artificial intelligence adds another dimension: companies must not only protect their systems against attacks, but increasingly address the risks associated with highly autonomous technologies.
