A webinar on the collaboration between Portugal and Italy in the field of cybersecurity was organised by the Italian Embassy in Lisbon alongside the Italian Chamber of Commerce for Portugal, ITA (Italian Trade Agency) and AICEP Portugal Global – Agency for Investment and Foreign Trade of Portugal. The event, “Cybersecurity: Debate between Portugal and Italy on New Technologies and the Challenge of Data Protection,” was held on April 7, attended by 230 Italian and Portuguese companies.
The webinar, inaugurated by Ambassador Carlo Formosa, highlighted the importance of developing synergies between the two systems, creating structured collaboration networks and involving public and private actors, so as to make the most of new digital technologies and reduce potential criticalities.
In this context, the representatives of the two agencies for cybersecurity emphasized the need to increase investment in this sector in order to train new experts through the acquisition of know-how, and allow all users of digital technologies to develop a greater awareness not only of the opportunities offered by the various devices but also of the risks involved, as well as to promote cooperation at an international level.
