National Cybersecurity Strategy Further initiatives aimed at increasing public-private partnerships as well as collaboration with the university and research, are those promoting and strengthening the awareness on the importance of cybersecurity. Among these, there are conferences and events organised on a national scale such as ITASEC, as well as those aimed at creating a strong national workforce of young talents highly specialised, such as the CyberChallenge.it, an educational program started by the CINI and which will continue benefitting also of ACN’s collaboration. With respect to the development of cybersecurity research, the eight highly specialized Competence Centres created by the Ministry of Economic Development – in which the public-private partnership is intended to create training activities as well as support the creation of innovative projects in the Impresa 4.0 sector –, the Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH), and the twelves Technological Clusters established by MUR are relevant. Similar cooperation initiatives will be continuously developed, in a synergic way, by interested entities, in the context of the coordination operated by ACN and in compliance with the directives issued by the Prime Minister, the Undersecretary of State for the security of the Republic, and the CIC, with the aim of contributing to the continuous increase in cybersecurity levels of the Country. 33
