DeNexus, a provider of cyber risk modelling solutions, has recently appointed industry veteran Rosa Kariger to its Board of Directors, strengthening the company’s commitment to bridging the gap between enterprises managing risk and insurers providing coverage.
Kariger will facilitate DeNexus’ long-term growth strategy focused on establishing the global standard for quantifying industrial cyber risks. This initiative is in response to the growing global demand and evolving cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure and industrial environments.
Jose Seara, Founder and CEO of DeNexus, expresses excitement about Kariger’s appointment, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Rosa to our Board of Directors.”
“As we keep building a full-stack solution for cyber risk management, Rosa brings forth unparalleled expertise and global insights in cyber risk management and cyber risk transfer that will undoubtedly strengthen our strategic vision and enhance our position as a leader in industrial cyber risk management. We look forward to benefiting from her guidance as we continue our journey of growth and innovation,” Seara adds.
Kariger remarks, “Cyber risk quantification is becoming critical for several stakeholders. Cybersecurity Officers need it to focus cyber investments, boards and senior management to support proper decision making, regulators to verify adequacy of cyber risk management programs and insurance companies to ensure appropriate cyber risk transfer.”
Sharing her enthusiasm for the role, Kariger comments, “I am honoured to join DeNexus, a company that is at the forefront of innovating approaches for the industry with the vision to meet all these stakeholder expectations using evidence-based data.”
“I eagerly anticipate leveraging my extensive industry knowledge to support DeNexus in enhancing cyber risk management strategies that can benefit a broader spectrum of roles and companies,” says Kariger.
Kariger brings substantial expertise in cyber risk to the DeNexus Board, having worked at the Iberdrola Group for over 26 years, most recently serving as Global Security Analysis & Prospective. Additionally, she has been the Co-chair of the WEF’s Systems of Cyber Resilience Working Group since 2018.
