Promote, enhance and disseminate data protection among companies cyber security risks. It is the objective of the three-year agreement signed by Confindustria e Generali Italyaware of these needs. If on the one hand the pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation processes of companies to facilitate remote working, on the other hand there has been an increase in scams and fake news. Therefore, IT security, also in the light of growing geopolitical tensions, plays an increasingly important role both on a personal and corporate level.
In detail, the partnership provides for the development of Cyber Index, the report on the cyber state of Italian companies, which will be presented at the end of the year. The objective is to highlight the level of knowledge of cyber risks within corporate organisations, the relative methods of approaching the management of such risks and the publication and sharing of the results achieved.
By completing a questionnaire, defined by Generali Italia with the support of industry experts, and Confindustria administering the survey to its members, the analyzed data will be illustrated in the Cyber Index. The report will be updated annually, thus providing a detailed picture of the state of digital security of Italian companies.
Furthermore, with a view to increasing knowledge on cyber security and cyber attacks for companies, they are planned training sessions and workshops on a territorial basis. The experts of Generali Italia and the agency network will involve, with their valuable consultancy, the companies associated with Confindustria, to ensure greater awareness of the risks associated with growing digitization and to protect companies from cybercrime.
"IT security is an indispensable condition for protecting the value of a company and for ensuring its growth in terms of competitiveness", he underlined Carlo Bonomi, President of Confindustria and that it is a fundamental investment to make businesses aware "of the risks associated with the use of digital technologies".
"We want to help spread the culture of cyber security among companies, increase awareness of vulnerability to IT risk and draw attention to the importance of adopting adequate insurance protections", he added Marco Sesana, Country Manager and CEO of Generali Italia and Global Business Lines.
