Cyber Security Day – Uniting Industry Leaders for a Safer Digital Future

Cyber Security Day, powered by Microsoft and Soft & Solution, brought a day filled with expertise, discussions, and practical solutions for cybersecurity. As an official Microsoft partner, Soft & Solution remains committed to providing the most advanced protection strategies and strengthening collaboration between the public and private sectors.

What We Learned from Cyber Security Day:

• Soft & Solution, as a Microsoft partner, demonstrated how these strategies are being adapted and implemented for Albanian businesses and institutions.

• Discussion Panel: Strengthening the Security of Critical Infrastructure in Albania

One of the most significant moments of the event was the discussion panel on critical infrastructure security, which included:

• Igli Tafa – Director General, AKSIK
• Ermal Beqiri – Founder, Soft & Solution
• Kozeta Garrett – GM Security Services, Microsoft
• Vassilis Skiadopoulos – Cybersecurity Expert, Microsoft
• Enis Ylli – Director of E-Government Security, AKSHI

The discussions emphasized the importance of cooperation between public institutions and the private sector to build a strong defense against ever-evolving digital threats.

Cyber Security Day became a meeting point for sharing experiences, exchanging knowledge, and laying the groundwork for new strategies in the cybersecurity field. This format reinforced the idea that the challenges of the future cannot be faced alone but only through collaboration and a shared vision.

As Ermal Beqiri, founder of Soft & Solution, said:
“Cybersecurity is the foundation of digital development. Without trust, there is no innovation. Trust is built when institutions and industries move forward together towards a common goal.”
