Italy is also among the countries that have received an alert from Csirt, the Computer security incident response team, of the National Cybersecurity Agency. To receive the communication were the health authorities and hospitals, "probably by virtue of the humanitarian aid that is being put in place", in particular all the hospitals in Piedmont and Lazio where "the regional health system - said the commissioner Alessio Damato - is in a state of maximum alert and the level of cybersecurity has been raised. Real-time monitoring of security systems activated. Maximum attention to e-mail, antivirus, sites exposed to the outside ".
"The recent serious Ukrainian crisis", says the Region, requires "all institutions and sensitive targets, such as companies and healthcare facilities, to pay maximum attention and monitor IT security systems in real time to prevent possible cyber attacks ".
High risk of cyber-attacks, therefore, for Italian government bodies, companies and even health care, in the days when the humanitarian aid machine for the Ukrainians was set in motion.
The first alarm of the Agency relating to the Russia-Ukraine case dates back to last February 14, with the recommendation to raise the levels of protection of digital infrastructures aimed at Italian companies that have relations with Ukrainian operators.
