National
Cybersecurity Strategy
Coordinated vulnerability disclosure
State-structured process, through which unknown cyber vulnerabilities, detected by researchers/ethical hackers, are
reported to organizations to diagnose and eliminate them. Coordinated vulnerabilities disclosure also includes coordination between the persons reporting the vulnerabilities and the organization, regarding the timing for their removal and
publication.
Cryptojacking
It is the malicious mining of cryptocurrencies, consisting in the unauthorized use of a device of a third party for the
purpose of mining digital currencies.
CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team)
Organizational unit responsible for coordinating the response to cyber incidents, mitigating their effects and preventing
the occurrence of further events.
CSIRT Italia
Initially established at the DIS, following the changes introduced by the Law Decree no. 82/2021 (article 7, paragraph 3)
the CSIRT was transferred to the ACN assuming the name of "CSIRT Italia". It has the following tasks: monitoring cyber
incidents at national level; issuing early warnings, warnings, announcements, and sharing information to interested
parties about cyber risks and incidents; intervening in the event of a cyber incident; carrying out dynamic analysis of
cyber risks and incidents; enhancing situational awareness; participating in the EU CSIRTs network. To this end, the CSIRT
establishes cooperative relationships with the private sector and promotes the adoption and use of common or standardized practices for cyber incidents and risks management processes, as well as for incidents, risks, and information
classification systems.
CSIRT Network
Network of CSIRTs of the EU Member States in which the CERT-EU also participates. The European Commission participates in the network as an observer and ENISA acts as the secretariat of the network, with the task of actively supporting
the cooperation between CSIRTs and, upon request, providing active support for the coordination of incidents. The CSIRT
network provides a forum where members can cooperate and share information. Italy is represented by ACN's CSIRT Italia.
Cyber hygiene
Set of principles and rules for users of IT systems, aimed at minimizing the cyber risks which expose them to cyber-attacks.
