AIF alumni event: Tobias Jaeger on cybersecurity in the boardroom

September 9, 2026

On 9 September 2026, the Amsterdam Institute of Finance published a report on its alumni gathering at Capital C in Amsterdam the previous evening. Falcone International Founder Tobias Jaeger delivered a keynote on cybersecurity and executive responsibility, followed by a discussion with Myrthe van der Erve of Sijthoff.

The report describes Jaeger’s emphasis on planning for disruption: identifying critical services, setting limits on acceptable downtime and deciding who acts when those limits are reached. He also addressed supplier dependencies, access that survives the end of a contract, and the importance of payment authorization controls as attackers adopt AI tools.

The subsequent discussion considered incident preparation, customer communication and the questions directors should ask their specialists. Jaeger emphasized arranging professional support before an incident and recording informed decisions about cyber risk.

AccountantWeek carried related coverage on 11 September 2026, followed by FM.nl on 14 September and CFO.nl on 16 October. These articles report on the same 8 September event.

Fraud is often reported to rise in a downturn. Pressure goes up, headcount comes down, and controls that quietly depended on someone having spare time stop working. This weekend read sets out where exposure concentrates during a downturn and which defenses actually hold: strong internal controls, systems that flag the patterns people miss, a crisis plan written before it is needed, and a culture in which raising an anomaly is not a career risk.

Joel Brenner, a former NSA inspector general and head of US counterintelligence, argues in “Glass Houses” that cyber exposure is structural rather than a failure of controls: the networks that carry commercial, governmental and personal life were built for reachability, not confidentiality.
