Alex Zoldova

Alex Zoldova is a cyber security keynote speaker who helps leaders make calm, confident decisions in noisy threat conditions. As a Senior Cybersecurity Solution Architect Partners at Microsoft, Alex works at the point where business risk meets technical reality, translating complex security problems into clear priorities for boards, CIOs, CTOs and CISOs. Her talks connect strategy to day one action, so audiences leave knowing what to fix first, what to measure, and how to reduce exposure without slowing delivery.

Over the past six years at Microsoft, Alex has advised enterprise partners across the UK, Europe and the US, collaborating closely with C-level stakeholders to design and implement robust cyber security strategies. She specialises in secure cloud and hybrid architectures, Zero Trust frameworks, identity governance, threat protection, and regulatory alignment using recognised approaches such as NIST and CIS. Alex also brings hands-on expertise across modern security capabilities including SIEM, XDR and cloud security posture management, helping organisations strengthen detection, response and resilience across endpoints, identities, data and applications.

Alex is known for leadership that extends beyond delivery. She serves as a Board Member of Women in Cybersecurity at Microsoft and is passionate about advancing women in cyber and improving representation across the industry. Since relocating from Ireland to London in July 2025, Alex has continued to mentor and champion inclusive pathways into the profession, sharing practical guidance on career navigation alongside technical insight. She is also a prolific writer of thought leadership articles, covering emerging threats, the UK regulatory landscape, and the operational discipline required to keep pace with attackers.

As a speaker, Alex has delivered sessions for ISC² London Chapter, HMRC Tech Week, Coding Black Women, and the Microsoft Embrace Programme, speaking on the UK threat landscape, AI-driven attacks, and the realities of building resilience across complex estates. Her style is direct, credible and engaging, with content that leaders can apply immediately. For example, Alex can take an organisation from a high-level goal like ‘Zero Trust’ to a practical 90-day plan focused on identity hardening, privileged access controls, incident readiness, and measurable security outcomes. Event feedback regularly describes her sessions as excellent, knowledgeable, captivating, and among the most interesting and informative of the programme.
