There is no doubt: the pandemic has given a really considerable boost to the digitization process of the country. But if on the one hand everything is smarter, on the other the risks for cybersecurity are always greater. A recent report by CLOSED – the Italian Association for Information Security – reveals that in 2022 cyber attacks in Italy grew by 16% compared to 2021.
A worrying trend that seems to concern not only our country. In fact, research reports that malicious campaigns have increased by 10% worldwideagain with reference to 2021.
Cyber attacks in Italy: Iconsulting develops a smart solution
According to Iconsultingthe leading Italian consulting company focused on creating strategic value starting from data, the protection of personal data inevitably passes through a smart approach. For this reason the company developed the model EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System).
“The issue of effective and timely management of vulnerabilities is becoming increasingly important, not only for large companies. – he claims Flavio Venturini, Iconsulting Innovation Director – Advanced Machine Learning techniques, such as those we have developed for the EPSS model, can substantially change the approach to vulnerability management, because they consider a multiplicity of information for decision-making purposes that would otherwise be difficult to manage by a human operator. “
The solution uses a plurality of Open sources on vulnerabilities and their exploitation. A distinctive sign of this innovation is, therefore, “the ability to transform vast and changing information into an effective tool for prioritizing vulnerabilities thanks to the use of a set of Machine Learning and Natural Language Process (NLP) models”.
