Effective Boardroom Strategies Against Cyberthreats

For now 20 years, Pascal has been involved in the main cybersecurity initiatives of the Luxembourg Government, CYBERSECURITY Luxembourg, the national platform to foster and empower the Luxembourg Ecosystem in the field of cybersecurity being his latest achievement. Laureate of the Information Security Personality of the Year award in 2017, Pascal Steichen has dedicated his professional career to cybersecurity. In 2022 he was elected as the first chairman of the ECCC (European Cybersecurity Competence Centre).

Koen started an IT career as a software developer and after a few years, he swapped development for ethical hacking because of a natural curiosity to find out how systems fail. However, due to the rise in security problems, his career evolved to security solutions integration and eventually to the managerial side of security. Koen has been CISO and security officer preceding his current role (since 2015) as a Chief Technology Officer at Atos for the region Benelux and the Nordics. He advises large organisations in a multi-industry environment to think on a long-term basis on Cyber Security and addresses complex security topics in layman’s terms for boards of directors and executive committees.

Alexandre has worked as senior security network consultant at a variety of places (including Ubizen, now Cybertrust). He co-founded a startup called Conostix, which specialised in information security management. For the past 6 years, he has been the manager of global information security at SES, a world-leading satellite operator.
