This is why the theme of the 2023 edition of Areté is precisely “Objective Employability,” highlighted by the opening speech of the responsibility master Elisa Zambito Marsala, who, in her role as head of…

This data tells us a lot about how the cyber threat is moving. On a global scale it accounts for about 7.6% of global attacks, compared to the GDP ratio, 2.2% on the Italian scale, or the population, 0.75%, it is extremely interesting to note how there is a particular focus on Italy by those who move in the cyber space with hostile purposes, whether opportunistic or otherwise.
