Data security, transaction security, digitisation of financial infrastructures. With the rapid development of new technologies, the banking and financial world is increasingly exposed to cyber threats. This is an ever-changing scenario in which it becomes essential to keep the cybersecurity framework up-to-date to ensure stability and confidence in citizens and markets.
The topic was addressed in Milan as part of the 22nd edition of 'Banks and Security', the event promoted by ABI and realised in collaboration with ABI Lab, CERTFin and OSSIF. Present on stage among the speakers, in the afternoon session 'The new regulatory challenges for the financial sector in cybersecurity', was the deputy chief of staff of the National Cybersecurity Agency Marcello Albergoni. "Regulatory complexity," he said at the opening of his speech, "has evolved qualitatively and quantitatively in recent years. We have moved, at national level, from directives of the Prime Minister to increasingly binding instruments of a legislative nature'.
In such an articulated context, the government's bill, the Ddl on National Cybersecurity, which is currently being examined by Parliament, also fits in. "By raising the level of security of public administrations," says Albergoni, "we are raising the level of security and resilience of the country and of subjects with whom the financial system dialogues directly or indirectly. It is the concrete image of a system interconnected by standards in which the points of contact between different sectors proliferate, with a strong appeal to the idea that, to effectively counter cyber threats, it is increasingly necessary to network and cooperate, exchange information and collaborate. And this is the direction in which both Dora (the regulation for the digital operational resilience of the financial sector) and Nis2 (the directive aimed at strengthening measures to increase the level of security of the networks and information systems of the EU member states) are pointing.
