SecurityBridge announced that Jesper Zerlang has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2026. Zerlang steps into the role after serving as Chairman of the Board for the past year, as the company begins its next stage of international growth with support from funds advised by BU Bregal Unternehmerkapital (BU).
SecurityBridge protects SAP environments for large enterprises by reducing cyber risk across mission-critical SAP landscapes. The company is trusted by global customers to safeguard systems that power core operations, financial processes, supply chains, and digital transformation programs.
“SecurityBridge is uniquely positioned at the intersection of cybersecurity and SAP – a domain I know deeply and care about profoundly,” said Jesper Zerlang, CEO of SecurityBridge. “Over the past year, as Chairman, I have seen firsthand the strength of the team, the technology, and the outcomes we deliver for customers. With BU’s support and a clear ambition to scale internationally, I am excited to step into the CEO role to accelerate global impact while raising the bar on trust and customer outcomes.”
Leadership Transition and Founder Roles
SecurityBridge founders Christoph Nagy and Ivan Mans will transition out of their day-to-day operational roles as CEO and CTO, respectively. They will remain strategically central to the business in pivotal roles focused on product evangelism and high-impact, customer-driven initiatives, leveraging their SAP engineering depth, credibility, and long-term product vision.
“SecurityBridge has grown into a remarkable company with a strong foundation and a clear mission,” said Nagy, Co-Founder of SecurityBridge. “This transition strengthens the company’s ability to scale globally while allowing us to focus where we create the greatest value for customers: product leadership, innovation, and engagement with the SAP ecosystem.”
