National Cybersecurity Strategy Preface The effectiveness of a strategy is strictly correlated to the possibility of progressively measuring the results, also to be able to take appropriate corrections and updates during its implementation, whenever needed. That is why the legislator has assigned the Prime Minister the power to adopt specific guidelines for this purpose, after consulting the Interministerial Committee for Cybersecurity (CIC). Moreover, the Intelligence Community provides ACN with an information and evaluation picture useful for guiding the further strengthening of the measures, which will ensure the effective implementation of this plan, also reporting on those for which it is responsible according to the procedures defined by Law no. 124/2007.
