(Adnkronos) - "Stiamo puntando a fare in modo che tutto il tessuto delle piccole e medie imprese rafforzi la propria sicurezza informatica e la propria postura di cybersicurezza. È uno sforzo ineludibile perché l'avanzamento della minaccia cibernetica, anche dal punto di vista della quantità del numero degli attacchi, è in incremento”. Così Bruno Frattasi, direttore generale Agenzia per la Cybersicurezza nazionale - Acn, alla presentazione del ‘Rapporto Cyber Index Pmi’, realizzato dall’osservatorio Cybersecurity & data protection del Politecnico di Milano, svoltasi a Roma presso la sede di Confindustria.

00:00We are aiming, of course, to make sure that all the fabric of small and medium-sized businesses,
00:11or a large part of it, comes to strengthen its own IT security, its own cyber security posture.
00:19It is a necessary effort, indisputable, because the advancement of the cyber threat,
00:27both from the point of view of its quantity, of the number of attacks,
00:30which, as Professor Piva also mentioned, are increasing, in 2024 compared to 2023.
00:38Today we were commenting on a report that is based on the situation recorded in the year that ended, in 2024.
00:46It says that the number of attacks has increased, and it will continue to increase in the meantime,
00:52because, as we know, there are also the malevolent applications of artificial intelligence
00:57that can represent a greater intensity of the threat, also from the point of view of its offensive quality.
01:07Therefore, the effort to strengthen the Italian productive backbone,
01:13which, as you know, is largely represented by small and medium-sized operators,
01:19is really an effort that depends on the same business continuity of our country, if I may say so with this expression.
01:27Enterprises that were reached by a devastating ransomware, as has already happened,
01:34can be deleted from the Italian productive scene.
01:39Such violence can effectively be deleted from the Italian productive scene.
01:48In other words, it can mean the economic collapse of this operator.
01:52So, it is clear that it is also here, and I have the pleasure of participating,
01:57on the institutional side, in an initiative that also involves generals.
02:02There is also a risk issue to be covered by insurance policies that can guarantee the operator
02:13a certain coverage from this risk, which becomes more incumbent and more and more pervasive.
