Secretariat General of Defence and National Armaments Directorate / 5th Department - Technological Innovation

Technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous systems and quantum technologies are changing the world, and the way NATO operates. These and other emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs) present both risks and opportunities for NATO and Allies. That’s why the Alliance is working with public and private sector partners, academia and civil society to develop and adopt new technologies, establish international principles of responsible use and maintain NATO’s technological edge. In this context, NATO has launched two initiatives (DIANA and NIF) to foster innovation and EDTs. The aim of this workshop is informing and promoting DIANA and the NIF within the International Delegations and the community of entrepreneurs, SME’s, start-ups, universities, research institutes, technology cluster associations and institutions dealing with the naval and underwater sectors.

Topics:

Critical Infrastructure: Security & Privacy Challenges: The slides illustrate the composition of the Italian Cybersecurity, and the role of new Regional Cyber ​​Security Operations Centers within the new Central Scientific and Cybersecurity Department. The work of the Cyber ​​Policeman, the training challenges and future prospects of the SINC3 platform, its functions and its main architecture’s features.

Anatomy of a cyber attack: We will analyze a malware attack through a phishing email and talk about Protection and training tools, the keys to success in cybersecurity.

Financial crimes: In addition to cyber attacks that impact the security of data, there are attacks aimed at defrauding companies with very sophisticated mechanisms that can reduce their financial solidity. “Business Email Compromised” attacks are the most dangerous because they take advantage of social engineering techniques. The main protection tool is the awareness.
