Cybersecurity in #Italy 
: A Niche Topic No More... 
Not too long ago, if you mentioned #cybersecurity in Italy, you’d get a lot of blank stares. Today, it’s everywhere—boardrooms, government agencies, and, of course, #ITASEC, Italy’s official cybersecurity conference.
This year, #ITASEC2025 took over Bologna, bringing together researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss what’s next for digital security. AI security, regulatory shifts, #cybereducation — yes, even the Digital Operational Resilience Act (#DORA) that’s reshaping financial sector security—were all on the table.
Unfortunately I wasn’t in Italy at the time of the event, but that didn’t stop me from having a fascinating conversation with Professor Alessandro Armando, one of the key organizers and a leading voice in cybersecurity research. In this latest On Location episode. Of course, Sean Martin joined me and we spoke about:
How cybersecurity went from an afterthought to a national priority in Italy
Why companies are (finally) realizing that #security is an #investment, not just a cost
The rise of Cyber Challenge IT—Italy’s initiative to build the next generation of cybersecurity experts
And, of course, the big reveal… ITASEC 2026 is heading to Sardinia!
