National
Cybersecurity Strategy
Cybersecurity Act
Regulation (EU) 2019/881, that introduced a permanent mandate for ENISA, strengthening its tasks, and a European
cybersecurity certification framework for ICT products, processes, and services according to a common and harmonized
approach at EU level. This is to verify the compliance of ICT solutions based on specific security requirements aimed at
protecting, throughout their life cycle, the availability, authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of data, functions, and
services. These requirements will be defined in specific certification schemes. The National Certification Authority within
the European certification processes defined by the Cybersecurity Act is the National Cybersecurity Agency.
Cybersecurity essential controls
List of 15 cybersecurity essential controls that can be implemented easily and economically by medium, small or micro
enterprises, to reduce the number of vulnerabilities present in their systems and increase the awareness of the staff. The
controls, derived from the National Framework for Cybersecurity, were published by the Research Centre of Cyber Intelligence and Information Security (CIS) of La Sapienza University and by the National Cybersecurity Laboratory of the
National Interuniversity Consortium for Informatics (CINI).
CyberShield
Project envisaged by the "EU Cybersecurity Strategy for the Digital Decade" of 16 December 2020, consisting in the
creation of a network of European SOCs capable of sharing and correlating detected events more efficiently and to create
high-quality analysis on threats, also recurring to artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. The "EU Cyber
Shield" is then completed with the role of ISACs and CSIRTs, which allow the timely reporting of cybersecurity incidents
to the authorities and all the stakeholders involved in order to obtain a greater situational awareness.
CyCLONe
The Cyber Crisis Liaison Organization Network is a network envisaged by the European Commission Recommendation
2017/1584 (so-called Blueprint) and aimed at ensuring Union’s preparation, situational awareness, and crisis management coordination, as well as supporting national and European cybersecurity policy makers. CyCLONe is tailored on the
structure outlined in the Blueprint for the coordinated response to large-scale incidents and crises, creating a cross-border cooperation architecture based on three levels: political, represented by the Council of the EU, also through the
Integrated Political Crisis Response mechanisms (IPCR); operational, embodied by CyCLONe; and technical, entrusted by
the EU CSIRT Network. In this context, CyCLONe represents the cross-border infrastructure for ensuring effective coordination between the Chair of the NCS and his counterparts in other Member States. Italy is represented by the ACN.
