Albania strengthens security against cyber attacks - Strategy/Application of advanced technologies, from AI to supercomputers
At a time when technology is developing at a rapid pace and being implemented in every field, the cybersecurity risks that Albania faces are also evolving rapidly.
Global trends show an increase in cyberattacks, driven by state-sponsored entities, criminal organizations and malicious groups. The Albanian state, economy and government face ongoing cyber threats, requiring immediate attention to protect critical infrastructure, public sector networks and citizen data.
For this reason, the "National Strategy for Cybersecurity 2025-2030" has been submitted for public consultation, as an important document that defines the strategic directions for the development and strengthening of cybersecurity in Albania.
The National Strategy has as its vision the guarantee of a secure, sustainable and inclusive digital ecosystem that fosters trust, innovation and the country's economic progress.
By embracing digital transformation through the application of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, supercomputers, and blockchain, the strategy aims to strengthen Albania's position as a leader in cybersecurity in the region and integrate with the policies and legal and regulatory framework of the European Union.
Through this strategy, Albania aims not only to protect its digital space, but also to create a culture of responsibility and awareness for cybersecurity. This comprehensive commitment will improve the country's resilience to ongoing challenges, making Albania a model for advanced approaches to cybersecurity in the region and beyond.
The document aims to improve cooperation between the public, private sectors and other actors to increase defense capacities and enable the exchange of important information in the management of cyber incidents.
Another key objective is to develop technical and professional capacities to cope with cyber threats, by investing in skills development and advanced technologies.
Furthermore, the strategy promotes innovation and scientific research to improve capabilities to predict, manage and respond to cyberattacks, as well as increase societal awareness and education on cybersecurity.
