Justice Minister Carlo Nordio said on
Wednesday that the government is investing significantly to
boost security against cyber attacks during question time at the
Lower House, amid a major probe into illegal hacking and
snooping on personal police and interior ministry files which is
believed to involve more than 800,000 victims.
"We are investing a series of very important sums to implement
security against cyberattacks, aware that the whole world was
unprepared to confront hacking attacks, because criminals in
almost all sectors always act and intervene before the State can
arm itself with the necessary and sufficient legislation to
control them", he said.
"Then the time will come, and for us that time is very close,
when we will be able to totally control them", said the
minister, adding that "it's a problem we are now trying to
resolve".
Nordio also told the House on Wednesday that, in order "to boost
the public administration's cyber services and systems, the
Agency for national cybersecurity has ordered funding of over
715 million euros" .
The resources concerned "the budget from 2022 to 2024 and will
also interest the subsequent 2025-2026 budgets, NRRP funding for
a total of 376 million euros and funding from the national cyber
strategy for 339 million" , explained the minister.
