"From multinationals to small businesses, hackers do not spare anyone - explains the president of Confartigianato Marco Granelli - there are effective rules on digital security effective and easily applicable by all business dimensions and incentives to support investments to protect company data". According to the artisan association, computer crimes represent 35.5% of crimes against companies.Thus 15.8% of Italian companies, compared to 21.5% of the EU average, recorded at least a computer accident with consequences such as the unavailability of ICT services, the destruction or disclosure of data on the Dark Web.However, Italian companies seem to be aware of the need to protect the heritage of their data.Confartigianato highlights, in fact, that 83.1% attributes high importance to cybersicacy, a percentage that exceeds the average of the European Union (71.1%) and which places us in second place after Ireland.In 2024, 42.6% of companies invested in cyber security, also by adopting artificial intelligence tools.Despite this, only 32.2% of entrepreneurs adopt at least 7 of the 11 security measures monitored by Istat, a figure of less than 38.5% of the EU average.To hinder the commitment to defend itself from computer threats is the lack of adequate skills on the labor market.22.8% of Italian companies report difficulties in finding specialized personnel in IT security, against 12% of the European average.In particular, companies struggle to hire the designers and administrators of systems that include the Cyber Security Expert: in 2024 6,300 were needed, but 4,000 were difficult to find.Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta, Emilia Romagna, Veneto, Lazio, Lombardy, are the regions with the greatest lack of these professional figures.«Digitization - underlines Granelli - if not adequately protected, exposes companies to ever greater risks.Knowledge, practical tools and resources are needed to defend yourself.But above all, cybersiculia must be considered a fundamental pillar of innovation and economic growth ".
