“Discovering the world of cybersecurity, from the ‘niche’ sector to a widespread priority for all companies. Why is cybersecurity so important? Are all cyber-attacks so sophisticated? What can we do to protect our data and technologies?”

Pluribus One, a manufacturer of cybersecurity solutions designed and developed entirely in Italy, is a company that comes from the world of university research, with which it maintains an indissoluble link.

As a company born from the world of research, Pluribus One recognizes training, knowledge sharing, and the use of this knowledge to create innovation as the three cornerstones for the positive development and growth of modern society.

The events of the last three years have meant that cybersecurity has rapidly gone from being a topic of interest for a few to the subject of collective attention, including mass communication.

For this reason, we felt it was appropriate to make our contribution in terms of experience sharing and training by organizing a full day here in our territory during which we addressed some of the most relevant topics within the modern cyber landscape.

We decided to do this with the support of leading companies such as MICROSOFT, SAP, and TRELLIX, as well as established professionals on the national and international scene, to provide participants with a rich day of content and networking opportunities.

Carlo Mauceli and Enrica Priolo helped us to gain an overview of the cybercrime phenomenon, which has exploded thanks to the convergence of the world’s most powerful hacker groups, its dynamics, and the factors that fuel it.
We saw how to understand what the cost in terms of processes, tools, and people can be behind the art of turning information into intelligence, and how successes and frustrations, given the complexity of the task, are in this case separated by an extremely fine line. All this was told to us by Filippo Sitzia, Security Solutions Architect EMEA at Trellix.

If it is true, as it undoubtedly is, that the issues of business continuity, risk management, and cyber resilience are intimately linked, then there is no other way to deal with them effectively in a company than through a Golden Team that can bring together all the skills necessary to cover them all effectively.
And who could have told us how to do this if not Federica Maria Rita Livelli, Board of the Business Continuity Institute and ANRA?

Francesco Iubatti, Senior Mobile Malware Analyst at Cleafy, guided us inside the world of bank fraud, showing us some recent and real attack scenarios.
Indeed, online banking fraud has increased dramatically in recent years, both in terms of complexity and volume due to the digitisation of electronic payment sectors, and the growth of e-commerce.

Risk management is, albeit sometimes unconsciously, part of our daily lives and is one of the elements that guide our choices. This is true in both the personal and professional spheres. Giovanni Virdis, Head of PCI-DSS Compliance and SGSI system, provided us with operational guidance and practical hints on how to best assess and manage it.

Domenico Caldarelli, Head of Cybersecurity at ITI S.r.l., told us how today’s attack techniques against Microsoft Active Directory infrastructures are very varied and effective, and paradoxically exploit the extreme customisation possibilities that the system offers. For this reason, he also shared how effective and secure management is essential, starting by using all those free resources that MICROSOFT itself makes available to do so.

The European Union has long been aiming to establish regulatory models for the digital transition that, by establishing themselves as standards of reference, can promote European values, technologies and interests in the world. In doing so, it wants to impose its digital and technological sovereignty on the planet. But is it on the right track?
Can the Artificial Intelligence Act, the Data Governance Act and the Digital Services Act package help us in this regard? Enrica Priolo, lawyer and Data Protection Security Officer, has tried to answer these and other delicate questions, without facile ideologisms and stances.

Carlo Mauceli, CTO of Microsoft Italy, also helped us, data and numbers in hand, to look at the events related to cyber defence, which has now become a fundamental element for a state.
Cloud-native and ‘composable’ applications are already a reality and the future of application development. But when the topic of cybersecurity is hot, supply chain attacks are a reality, what do customers and the market demand from an application composition platform provider? We had Walter Ambu, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer of Entando Inc., who is truly among the world pioneers in this field, tell us.

Under the name martech technologies, go all those technologies used in digital marketing processes, i.e. e.g. email marketing tools, social media management tools, chatbots or the more advanced virtual assistants, or CRMs. For these reasons, the work of martech technology providers is, from a security point of view, extremely delicate. We spoke about this with Marianna Terracciano, Area Manager of The Digital Box, a very Italian ‘AI first Company’ that develops Artificial Intelligence technologies on which it bases its solutions in Marketing, Communication and Service.
