The 150 million euro that the government announced to put on national cybersecurity will go to big industry, it appears to Sole24Ore, also if startups have a crucial role to push innovation. In this context especially. Startups Italian, then, for the moment, will only have to gravitate to large companies, to grasp the new funding stream, however, by its limited than the amount set aside from other countries. The UK has just announced £ 2 billion for a plan cyberintelligence.

The Italian startup ecosystem safety has for some other notable excellence, as reflected Andrea Rigoni, an expert on cybersecurity for NATO and the UN, “There Inverse Path, a startup focused on the analysis of Trieste and strengthening of objects dedicated hardware security (smart card chip, embedded systems) often used in banking, avionics or automotive. Or Minded Security, Italian excellence in expansion focused in research, analysis and support to the removal of application vulnerabilities. It is a world reference for identifying vulnerabilities of Adobe platforms. ” The same Rigoni is founder of a startup cyber counseling, Intellium. The list continues: Hacktive Security is a company dedicated to the Roman professional services related to the world of ICT security: system integration, technical assessment, support to forensic services. Swascan is the brand safety of online startups Milan Business Competence and is dedicated to selling online scanning services for networks, web applications and source code. It offers services on the cloud. We can also consider the startup made by Italians but based abroad. Are interesting examples to cite as lost opportunities for our ecosystem Italian, who failed to be quite attractive to these realities. This is the case of Nozomi (Switzerland) and Security Matters (Netherlands): “make probes to analyze the security environments are two Scada and excellence throughout the world,” says Rigoni. “A startup is well known in the field of cybersecurity lastLine” adds Bruno Crispo, a professor at the University of Trento, an expert on cybersecurity. “It was born by the University of California, Santa Barbara. Among the founders there are many Italians and Italian work there. ” Startups are critical in a field such as cybersecurity, because this is a very dynamic field, “says Crispo.

The importance of startups in this field is confirmed by the choice of a big, Kaspersky, open the throttle Security Startup Challenge. “The tendency is to incubate the idea in Italy since there are many incubators, but then try out capital, because Italy is a smaller market, with infrastructure often does not live up to, with limited financing opportunities,” said Crispus . “To take off the startup of cybersecurity it is first necessary that there is a real national market, with strong investment by the Government. Something that today there is, “confirms Rigoni. And is a little ‘paradox when “Now the goal is to quickly counteract terrorism.”
