Shira Kaplan Joins High-Level Panel on Geopolitics and Cyber Security in Berlin

Qino Cyber Capital Founder Shira Kaplan joined senior US and German military officials at a closed-door panel discussion in Berlin. The event, held at the Kempinski Hotel's Bundeszimmer overlooking Brandenburg Gate, brought together industry leaders to address critical geopolitical and cybersecurity challenges.

The discussion, titled "Turning Point," marked the second annual summit hosted by German technology firm infodas. The panel examined how shifting global power dynamics affect national cyber defense strategies and technological sovereignty.

Germany faces mounting pressure to reduce dependencies on foreign technology infrastructure while strengthening domestic capabilities. The country's position at the center of European digital policy makes these decisions critical for continental security.

Cybersecurity threats have evolved beyond traditional boundaries. State-sponsored attacks, supply chain vulnerabilities, and critical infrastructure targeting now define the modern threat landscape. Military and business leaders must work together to develop resilient systems that protect both national interests and economic stability.

Germany's approach to cyber defense will influence how other European nations structure their security frameworks. The country must balance maintaining strong transatlantic partnerships while developing independent capabilities that protect against all potential adversaries.

For investors, these discussions highlight growing opportunities in cybersecurity companies that address nation-state level threats. Governments are allocating substantial budgets to modernize defense infrastructure and reduce reliance on potentially compromised supply chains.

QCC continues to identify and support companies positioned at this intersection of technology, security, and strategy.
