Collecting the award during the ceremony, which took place on October 6th 2023 at Milan’s Bocconi University, was the Foundation’s founder and president Marco Gabriele Proietti: “I am proud and grateful for this recognition. It shows that as a Foundation we are going in the right direction and so, it encourages us to continue our efforts in this area. Cybersecurity is a challenge that concerns us all, now more than ever. It is and must be a priority for the health and development of our country. The growing complexity of cyber threats requires constant commitment and a collaborative approach to deal with a rapidly changing world. We must therefore proceed to educate and train citizens, starting by raising awareness among the younger generations right from the school benches’.
