Top SchoolAnatoli Kalysch is a seasoned information security leader with 11 years of experience driving cyber resilience across regulated financial, critical infrastructure, and healthcare environments. As a CISO and Deputy CSO, he has led ISO 27001 certification programs, reduced major audit findings by over 60%, and aligned security initiatives with FINMA, BaFin, DORA, NIS2 and emerging EU AI regulation.
