AKSK was represented in this meeting by the Director of the Directorate of Cyber Governance, Risk and Control, Mr. Saimir Kapllani, who shared with the attendees the steps taken by Albania to deal with cyber-attacks as well as the challenges our country is facing.
For the first time in history, this forum was welcomed by the US Secretary of State Mr. Antony Blinken, who in his speech emphasized the importance of digital solidarity and cooperation between the public and private sectors to create a sustainable and secure cyber ecosystem.
“Standing side by side with partners and allies to advance in a shared vision for a technology ecosystem that respects rights, innovative and secure is a basic necessity” stressed the Secretary of State.
