In the last few years, cyber security has become more of a priority for all types of organisations than ever before. The cyber threat landscape has greatly evolved with attackers commonly using more advanced techniques to bypass perimeter security controls organisations have implemented through the setup of Security Operation Centres (SOCs) and Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs).

It has long been predicted that wars would become hybrid, fought in multiple fronts at the same time, mixing conventional and irregular warfare with subversion, disinformation, and cyber-warfare. Following Russia’s invasion, Ukraine is facing constant cyber-attacks against its critical infrastructure. Viktor Zhora, deputy chairman of the State Service of Special Communications of Ukraine stated in early March 2022:

8 October 2021, the CYBERSECURITY DAY 2021, as part of the Internet Festival 2021, will be held from 9:15 to 17:30. This event will be attended by industry experts, researchers, representatives of the business world. The day will also be an opportunity to present the new edition of the Master, with a panel dedicated to the importance of training in this area.

The event will take place in the presence of the Pisa Chamber of Commerce.

To participate in the event in person it is necessary to register.

The European Commission puts a great emphasis on the twin transition to a green and digital economy as the way forward for Europe.

In many sectors, SMEs can use enabling technologies to redesign their operations and become green(er). Standards are fundamental for sustainable technology as they provide reliable, consistent building blocks that can be universally understood and adopted. These building blocks aid in promoting compatibility and interoperability and speed up time-to-market.
