In light of the recent cyberattacks registered globally on critical public and private infrastructures, and continuing to involve a number of Italy’s strategic assets – compromising the work of public administrations and industrial and productive installations – CONFINDUSTRIA believes it is fundamental to raise the cyber security awareness level, the first step required to protect a business’ strategic assets.
This is why an agreement has been signed between CONFINDUSTRIA, the National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN), Generali insurance and the Milan Polytechnic Cybersecurity Observatory to investigate the state of adoption of cybersecurity tools and measures aimed at protecting a company’s informational, technological and productive assets. For this purpose a “SME Cyber Index” questionnaire has been prepared, a first step in the future “Italian Cyber Index” that will give a full picture of the state of the country’s adoption of cyber security measures and will converge into the European Cyber Index.
CONDINDUSTRIA MARMOMACCHINE has sent its members the questionnaire, asking them to compile it. The data members provide will be used by the Milan Polytechnic’s Digital Innovation Observatories exclusively for the purposes of research tied to the SME Cyber Index project. Furthermore, all companies requesting it will be sent the overall results of the survey along with a personalized report on the company’s positioning with respect to the total sampling.
