News of cyber attacks and violations are constantly increasing, analyzing the Clutis 2024 report we can see that this trend also affects Italy.
But what are the risks for Italian companies? Data are a fundamental asset for every company and keeping them safe is necessary to safeguard the company’s well-being as an exfiltration of data would bring with it significant damage to the company with the risk of fines by the Privacy Guarantor, reputational loss, system shutdowns, data loss, consequences that can also lead to business shutdowns.
In the last year 2.779 incidents have been recorded in Italy, the highest number ever.
The sectors most affected are healthcare, finance and manufacturing, but no company can be considered safe, even companies that implement antivirus, firewalls and IPS, as even a wrong configuration or for example a failure to update can expose the company to the risk of cyber attacks since the attackers exploit precisely the vulnerabilities present in the systems to launch their attacks.
