Alex Zoldova

Alex Zolodova is a cybersecurity keynote speaker and Senior Cybersecurity Solution Architect, Partners (UKI and EMEA) at Microsoft, known for bringing clarity and control to complex security challenges. She speaks to leadership audiences on modern cyber risk, with her biggest achievement being her role as a trusted adviser to C-level stakeholders across enterprise environments.

Her early career combined communication, strategy and hands-on technical exposure, shaping the way she approaches cybersecurity today. She earned a BA in Communication and Political Science from the University of Haifa, graduating with honours in the top five per cent of her department. She then built experience across digital and technology roles in London and Berlin, working closely with product and engineering teams, leading client integrations, and gaining practical insight into how organisations balance innovation with security and trust. She later strengthened her technical grounding through web programming study, giving her the ability to engage both technical specialists and senior decision-makers with equal confidence.

Alex’s career reflects a clear progression into enterprise cybersecurity leadership. At Microsoft, she advanced to Senior Cybersecurity Cloud Solution Architect, EMEA, where she advised organisations across sectors on cloud security strategy, identity-led architecture and security operations. She is widely recognised for translating complex frameworks such as NIST and CIS into practical, workable approaches within real-world constraints. In her current role as Senior Cybersecurity Solution Architect, Partners (UKI and EMEA) at Microsoft, she works with enterprise partners to design secure-by-design strategies across multi-cloud environments, including SIEM, XDR, cloud posture management and data security. Alongside this, she serves as a Board Member of Women in Cybersecurity at Microsoft, championing diversity and inclusion in the industry. She is also a published voice on cybersecurity trends, with a growing focus on AI security, particularly how artificial intelligence is reshaping both cyber threats and defence strategies.

Alex is hired for her ability to make cybersecurity practical, relevant and actionable at every level of an organisation. Her keynotes cover Zero Trust, identity governance, secure cloud and hybrid architecture, AI-driven threats, cyber resilience and supply chain risk, all grounded in real business impact. She also brings an important perspective as a woman in technology and cybersecurity, sharing insights on talent, leadership and inclusion in a traditionally underrepresented field. Audiences leave with clear actions, whether that is strengthening privileged access controls or improving incident readiness. For organisations navigating rising cyber risk and rapid technological change, Alex offers direction, confidence and a clear path forward.
