Lupașcu emphasized that countries must take practical steps toward cooperation: "Last year, the Moldovan government adopted all security requirements for critical infrastructure.

The director underlined that a major challenge in Moldova is the shortage of cybersecurity specialists: "It is not easy to find talented individuals who can provide expertise to the government.

Of course, regulation and policy still play a major role, because without a proper framework, we cannot move in the right direction."
