In an increasingly technology-driven world, where digitalization underpins core business operations, cybersecurity has evolved beyond the confines of IT departments into a fundamental pillar of organizational resilience and trust.
Opening the forum “Building Secure Systems, Strengthening Cyber Resilience,” Neritan Mullaj, Executive Director of the American Chamber of Commerce, underscored the urgency of investing in advanced security systems and elevating cybersecurity to the forefront of business priorities. In line with this vision, AmCham convened a high-level forum bringing together Oracle experts, representatives from the National Cyber Security Authority, and leading local professionals in the field.
A central theme of the discussion was the critical role of leadership and cross-sector collaboration in strengthening cyber resilience. “The time to build secure cyber systems is now this is no longer an issue that can be deferred,” stated Genti Daci, Chairman of the Digital Business Committee. He emphasized that cyber risk has moved beyond a purely technical dimension to become a strategic business concern, requiring sustained attention from both corporate leaders and institutions.
The panel featured Esmeralda Kazia, Director at the Incident Monitoring and Response Directorate of the National Cyber Security Authority; Tine Lenarčič, Cyber Resilience Expert at Oracle; Pavle Marjanović, Secure Systems Solutions Consultant at Oracle; and Sokol Qeraxhiu, Founder of Prisma. Moderated by Lejdina Çuçi, Chief Operating Officer at InfoSoft Systems, the discussion offered a comprehensive perspective that bridged technical expertise, regulatory frameworks, banking sector security, and long-term strategic planning for enhancing cybersecurity at both organizational and national levels.
Panelists highlighted how rapid digital transformation is exposing organizations to increasingly sophisticated and evolving cyber threats. These threats now extend beyond data breaches to target communication systems and operational continuity. Oracle experts emphasized the importance of building secure enterprise communication infrastructures through the integration of cloud technologies, AI-driven solutions, and advanced defense mechanisms. Notably, modern cyberattacks are shifting away from traditional vectors such as email, increasingly targeting real-time communication channels including voice and messaging necessitating a fundamental rethinking of how security systems are designed and managed.
The forum concluded with a strong consensus, cybersecurity is a shared responsibility that demands close and continuous collaboration between the private sector, public institutions, and technology providers.
