Cyber Security

New communication and information technologies increasingly underscore the pervasive and globalizing effect of cyberspace. While the Internet, often regarded as the ultimate expression of freedom, undoubtedly also poses a significant risk to individuals’ fundamental rights.

Cybersecurity involves implementing a system that preserves information according to the threefold criteria of credibility, integrity, and availability, ensuring that users can easily access data without hindrance from malware, spy bots, phishing scams, or other harmful threats.

The regulation of the network is carried out through so-called Cyberlaw, which broadly refers to the area of law governing the relationship between digital world users and technological and electronic elements.
In this regard, our Team addresses the issue of cybersecurity, considering the vast range of sectors in modern societies that rely on digital services.

There is no sector at present that does not heavily rely on cyberspace.
Economic and financial services, military command and control systems, electrical or water supply systems, healthcare, telecommunications, and the physical devices we interact with daily are all controlled by computer systems.

Opportunities

In this unstoppable scenario, the ongoing spread of distributed ledgers capable of recording and managing various types of transactions [Blockchain], cryptocurrencies [such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether, and Ripple], and Artificial Intelligence [AI] systems is increasingly evident—all aimed at expanding the cyber domain and, consequently, the attack surface.

The artificial nature of the cyber domain represents its fundamental vulnerability and weakness, through which it is possible—on the one hand—to illegally obtain data and information as they pass through cyberspace and—on the other hand—to compromise the functioning of digital services and systems, in whole or in part. Cyber domain vulnerabilities are thus the downside of technological and IT progress.
