Public and Private Sector Synergy

Lithuania fosters a collaborative environment that enhances our cybersecurity offerings, from enterprise solutions to national defense.

The critical role Lithuania plays on the world stage will only continue to increase with the current arc of our geopolitics. We are more than grateful to the President of Lithuania for our new partnership with the Ministry of Defense to establish a technical center in Vilnius, which will strengthen not only the nation and its Baltic partners, but also the democratic values which they seek to uphold.

I recently returned to Digital.ai, having originally been part of the company Arxan (not the Application Security business at Digital.ai). I am impressed with the talented team we have in Lithuania, and excited about the thought leadership they provide to the security market and through their contributions to both our mobile and web-based application security products.

Lithuania is a great place for business. We chose Lithuania because Lithuanian IT specialists are top class when it comes to both development and product support.
