Public-private collaboration in the cybersecurity system: reflections from the European and Italian strategy

Abstract

The work aims at analysing the role of public-private collaboration in achieving national and supranational cybersecurity objectives, in order to explain that the best possible insurance against the cyberspace threats is represented by the enhancement of knowledge and experience of the economic operators in the ICT sector, on the one hand, and of the contribution of network users, on the other. After having mentioned the normative indications formulated in this regard at European level, the survey focuses on the recent Italian strategy, which seems to assign, in compliance with the new approach “whole of society”, a more active role for the various components of society.
