About the speaker

Before moving to Brussels and Strasbourg, she served as chair of the German Bundestag’s Defense Committee. In the 2024 European elections, she led the FDP as its top candidate. Strack-Zimmermann is convinced that security and digitalization are two sides of the same coin: without resilient digital infrastructures, innovative defense technology, and key European technologies, there can be no strategic sovereignty.

Cybersecurity is no longer merely an IT issue, but rather a strategic management task for companies of all sizes. In an increasingly hybrid threat landscape, cyberattacks, geopolitical tensions, state influence, and new technological possibilities driven by artificial intelligence converge. Leading experts from the business, political, and security research communities will come together to discuss how the threat landscape is changing due to artificial intelligence, geopolitical tensions, and increasing cyberattacks. The focus will be on what companies must do now, in concrete terms, to remain secure and capable of acting in the age of AI.
