(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) – On cybersecurity, one of the great problems that will arise on a global level, “we must hurry and do well”. This is the position of Adolfo Urso, president of Copasir, in light of the evolution of technologies and the need to protect data from cyber attacks.
Precisely in the field of data, “the global assets will be redesigned”. The national cloud, the broadband network strategy, “which must be defined”, the interconnections through maritime cables in the Mediterranean, the technological and production development on chips and semiconductors, electric batteries and obviously artificial intelligence “are – Urso underlines with DigitEconomy.24, report of the Sole 24 Ore and the Luiss Business School – important elements of what must be a clear and defined national strategy, shared with our European and Atlantic partners ». Copasir, announces the president, will audit the new director of the Cybersecurity Agency, Roberto Baldoni, precisely on the national cloud project and on the security problems that are looming.

Meanwhile, on the occasion of the Confindustria assembly, the Prime Minister himself, Mario Draghi, reiterated the strategic nature of the national project for the cloud, stating that offers are expected (the expected deadline is by the end of the month, ed) and the contribution private individuals will be important.
In August, the cybersecurity law was approved, which also provides for the creation of the ad hoc agency. Can we say that Italy today has a sufficient shield to protect itself from attacks?
The agency is taking its first steps and I hope it will soon be in full operation. Its implementation comes a few years later than other European countries, although in the meantime, thanks to the activity, which we could define as substitute, of intelligence and the impulse of Copasir, other important elements have been realized, for example the perimeter national security. The Minister of Technological Innovation, Vittorio Colao, a few weeks ago highlighted how 95% of the PA was not yet in a position to protect their data, as emerged in a striking way in the case of the hacking that hit the Lazio Region, so such as hospitals and strategic companies. And the data on the exponential increase in cybercrime unfortunately prove it. We must hurry and do well, aware of the risks and potential. This is the field in which the new global structures are redesigned, the competitiveness of the entire country system, not just the protection of our data which is the prerequisite. The national cloud, the broadband network and the interconnections through maritime cables in the Mediterranean, but also the technological and production development on chips and semiconductors, on electric batteries and obviously on artificial intelligence are important elements of what must be a clear and defined national strategy, shared with our European and Atlantic partners.
