The Swiss GRC Day 2024 impressively demonstrated the importance
of intelligent, integrative and forward-looking adaptation in the
areas of governance, risk management and compliance in order to be
successful in a rapidly evolving technological and geopolitical
risk landscape. Besfort Kuqi, CEO of Swiss GRC AG, opened the event
and emphasized the importance of proactive, contemporary and
forward-looking new generation risk management, where a
comprehensive and integrated use of new methods, approaches and
technologies will play a central role. He added that the Swiss GRC
Day has established itself as a key event for GRC professionals,
where precisely these future-oriented strategies and technologies
are presented and discussed.
Frank Romeike, founder of RiskNET GmbH, set the scientific
framework with his analysis of the risk landscape in 2024. He
emphasized the importance of intuition in a world where knowledge
often grows faster than the understanding of its implications.
Professor Stefan Hunziker from Lucerne University of Applied
Sciences and Arts picked up on this theme, noting that despite the
great advances offered by AI, human skills such as creativity and
contextual understanding remain essential for making in-depth
decisions.
Another highlight was the presentation by Roger Halbheer, Chief
Security Advisor at Microsoft, who addressed the growing global
cyber security threats. Roman Regenbogen and Andreas Rostin from
Eraneos emphasized the urgency of rethinking cyber security
strategies and made the call for basic cyber hygiene and layered
security measures.
Richard Gaechter from CRIF Switzerland discussed the benefits of
consistent ESG risk management, which not only improves compliance
but can also strengthen overall corporate governance. He explained
that by integrating ESG into risk management, companies can improve
their resilience and market position.
At the end of the conference, moderator Nikolai Tsenov
highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and
overcoming silos within organizations. He emphasized that the
concepts and technologies presented must not only address the risk
landscape of today, but also strengthen the ability of
organizations to proactively prepare for future challenges.
