On 8th May the Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI) organised the conference “Coexisting with Cyber Risk: public-private cooperation” to discuss about the upcoming risks of cybersecurity and possible strategies to mitigate such risks.Public sector’s actors, companies and citizens are more and more subject to cyber attacks, which are increasing both in number and sophistication.

Trends show a huge escalation in hacked and breached data from sources that are increasingly common in the workplace.Dealing with cyber risks is becoming a priority and only a coordinated action can be effective in a rapidly changing environment highly affected by technological innovation. 

The conference was promoted by ISPI under the auspices of Leonardo, within the scope of the Cybersecurity Observatory
