LiFi at the Cyber Security Summit 2023

Important success in terms of audience and content for the third edition of the Innovation Cybersecurity Summit 2023 organised by ANGI – National Association of Young Innovators, a reference point for innovation and digital in Italy – in the splendid setting of Palazzo Wedekind.

 

La cybersecurity è un processo e in quanto tale si compone di vari elementi, politiche, procedure nonché misure tecnologiche. Non solo gli addetti ai lavori di cybersecurity devono occuparsene, ma ogni persona deve essere coinvolta nel rafforzamento della sicurezza. Come spesso viene ricordato, le organizzazioni si dividono in due: chi è stato oggetto di un attacco e chi lo sarà; per cui valutare i rischi significa tener conto sia delle vulnerabilità sia della capacità di reazione agli incidenti

 

Security of information, networks and information systems were central themes during the event organised by ANGI – Associazione Nazionale Giovani Innovatori at the Wedekind Palace. An event that highlighted the role of innovation and cybersecurity as key elements in supporting and protecting businesses, infrastructures and critical state sites under the name of digital. An initiative that was acclaimed by the institutions and held in collaboration with the European Parliament Offices in Italy and under the patronage of the European Commission Representation in Italy, AIPSA, Cyber 4.0 Cyber Security Competer Center, Cyber Area and with the strategic partnership of Women4Cyber Italia, with whom an important memorandum of understanding on cybersecurity issues was also announced.

 

 

Also present among the speakers was our CEO Francesco Paolo Russo, Director General of ANGI, who emphasised the potential of LiFi solutions for #CyberSecurity to protect our country’s critical infrastructures linked to National Security, from Defence to Healthcare and, more generally, to the protection of data and communications in both the public and corporate spheres.

LiFi technology is in fact very secure from an IT point of view as the signal is not as diffuse as WiFi, does not cross physical barriers (walls, walls) and remains confined within the environment. To provide this type of connectivity, we, like To Be, have developed two types of solutions: LiFi Streaming and LiFi Point To Point.

LiFi Streaming solutions use LEDs that emit non-visible light, within the infrared spectrum. Using light for communication in critical contexts also has other advantages: these connections do not generate interference with equipment or places where radio frequencies can cause conflicts.

These solutions, together with LiFi Point To Point, exploit another advantage of LiFi, namely the ability to create connectivity infrastructures that are not only very secure and high-performance, but also very quick to set up, considerably reducing the amount of cabling required.

 

Ci sono settori come la Difesa dove il cyberspazio insieme al dominio spaziale sono ormai considerati non solo una priorità ma un vero e proprio cambio di paradigma culturale. La sfida, come ha ricordato anche il direttore dell’Agenzia per la Cybersicurezza Nazionale Bruno Frattasi, è di accrescere e sviluppare una cultura della sicurezza e della protezione dai rischi cyber. Un pericolo che riguarda ambiti nevralgici come la difesa e la sicurezza, ma anche la sanità, i trasporti e il mondo finanziario. Tutti ambiti in cui noi stiamo portando le nostre soluzioni tecnologiche LiFi.
