Cybersecurity

The objective of this investment is to strengthen Italy’s defences against the risks posed by cybercrime, notably through the implementation of a ‘National Perimeter for Cyber Security’ (PSNC), in line with the security requirements set out in the Directive (EU) 2016/1148 on security of network and information systems (NIS Directive), and by strengthening national cyber-defence capabilities of technical inspection and risk monitoring.

The measure envisages the development of a state-of-the-art, integrated system, tightly interconnecting different entities across the country and connecting internationally with partners and trusted technology providers. 

This is articulated on four pillars: 

(i) Strengthen front line capabilities towards the public and companies/entities to manage alerts and actual publicly recognized events; 
(ii) Build/strengthen the country’s inspection and audit capabilities of hardware and software used by subjects with essential functions to certify trustworthiness/pre-empt threats; 
(iii) Power up units of law enforcement and cyber units within the Police forces in charge of investigations of criminal activities; 
(iv) Strengthen significantly cyber asset and human resources in charge of national security and response to cyber threats.
