The big challenge all sectors will have to tackle in the coming years, on top of digitalisation, is security (physical and digital) in order to protect company assets and safeguard business continuity. In fact, since the beginning of the pandemic, cyber-attacks have become a part of everyday life and are, naturally, a matter of urgency for the security market too, where solutions are increasingly digital and connected. This is why the Cyber Arena is returning to SICUREZZA 2021, with a programme of training and information built around the needs of manufacturers, security managers and installers.

Produced through a research-based collaboration between Business International-Fiera Milano Media, a Fiera Milano Group company, and created with the aim of providing a broad view of future scenarios, every day Cyber Arena will host Cyber Security Talks, meetings with experts sharing their outlook on the sector’s key trends, and Cyber Security Tips, short training sessions with advice and suggestions that can be put into practice straight away. It launches on November 22nd with a talk on Cyber security trends: new frontiers in national cybersecurity, featuring an interview with Nunzia Ciardi, Head of the Postal and Communications Italian Police Service, followed by a round table with top public, private and association representatives. The second talk will focus on Cyber Security and OSINT techniques: new strategic approaches to security, which today, with almost all information available online, become key for both public and private organisations.

The second day will discuss Cyber Security and Smart Working, dealing with new remote working methods safely.  This discussion will provide participants with a checklist for figuring out how to defend their corporate security perimeter, what countermeasures to adopt, how to improve their ability to respond to attacks, how to increase awareness of threats and the importance of appropriate employee and administrator behaviour while working remotely.

On the same day The Future of Security: the convergence-cyber security paradigm will be analysed, with the debate centred around a need to be familiar with and understand the critical issues technological convergence brings with it in order to gain all the advantages while minimising risks and adopting technological, architectural and procedural measures that are consistent with and proportionate to the context and the asset being protected, whether it be material, immaterial or human.

Lastly, on the final day of SICUREZZA 2021 there will be a talk on Industrial IOT, ICS and SCADA: the cyber security ecosystem, from existing systems to clouds and Artificial Intelligence, which will analyse minimum cyber risk management policies, especially for companies operating in security (video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, cyber).

Meanwhile, the Tips will tackle more specific topics and delve deeper into technical aspects with case studies of success and failure. The topics covered by these learning pills include The Essential Toolkit for Cyber Security Managers (scheduled for the first day), Implementing a Cybersecurity Strategy in 30 Minutes (held on the second day) and Hacker trends: how to protect your infrastructure (scheduled for the last day).
