Learn how Alexandre Horvath explains cybersecurity as business strategy, AI-driven security, and why data protection is now a leadership priority for companies.

Meet Alexandre Horvath – Cybersecurity as Business Strategy, Not Just Technology

In a world where companies still think cybersecurity is just an IT responsibility, Alexandre Horvath, Group Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) & Data Protection Officer (DPO) at Cryptix AG, brings a much broader and more strategic perspective. With decades of experience in cybersecurity, data protection, and governance, Alexandre focuses on something many organizations still overlook: cybersecurity is not only about tools and firewalls, it is about business continuity, trust, and long-term strategy.

In his conversation on The Executive Outlook, Alexandre explains why small and mid-sized companies are often the weakest link in cybersecurity, how attackers target supply chains instead of large companies directly, and why data classification is still one of the biggest challenges organizations face today. He also shares how artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity both as a threat and as a defense tool, and why companies must understand their data before they can truly protect it.

For Alexandre, cybersecurity is not just about preventing attacks. It is about ensuring businesses can continue operating, protecting customer trust, and building strong digital foundations for the future. Organizations that treat cybersecurity as a business priority, not just a technical task, are the ones that will survive and grow in the digital world.
