The perimeter of national cybersecurity: strategic private operators on the front line.
25 November 2019
Through the recent conversion into law1 of the Italian law decree no.105 of 21 September 2019, setting forth urgent provisions on the perimeter of national cybersecurity (the "Decree"), the rules and obligations imposed upon private parties that provide services of strategic importance at the national level are confirmed. These parties will be required to ensure high levels of security of IT systems and networks. In the event of breaches, sanctions of up to Euro 1.8 million will apply. In the context of the protection of national security and strategic sectors, significant reforms in the area of the “Golden Power" have been introduced.
