Falk Mayer

Falk Mayer is Co-Founder and CTO of CYMETRIS, based in Munich. He has built the CYMETRIS platform from the very first architectural decision and continues to drive its development today. The result is a solution that doesn't treat cyber risk assessment and vulnerability management as separate disciplines, but brings them together in a single end-to-end process — designed for the automotive industry as well as other regulated sectors where requirements such as the Cyber Resilience Act are setting new standards. For Falk, seamless integration into existing development and tool environments isn't a feature; it's a prerequisite.

With degrees in physics and many years of experience securing information, IoT, and vehicle technologies, he combines engineering depth with product thinking. Previously, as Senior Technical Cybersecurity Expert at CYRES Consulting, he led cybersecurity risk assessments for international OEMs and Tier-X suppliers, and was part of the founding team of BreachLabz, the company's automotive penetration testing spin-off. His hands-on experience in both worlds — risk assessment and offensive security — makes him a sought-after speaker and trusted voice in the industry.
