PA Training - NIS2
PA Training – NIS2 is an e-learning training program structured to support the governing and executive bodies of public administrations in acquiring the necessary skills for cyber risk management. The NIS2 Directive places direct responsibility on the governing bodies of institutions for cybersecurity, introducing specific training obligations aimed at strengthening the capacity to prevent and respond to digital threats.
The training is aimed at public administrations within the scope of the EU NIS2 Directive, specifically three categories of public administrations: Essential Central and National PAs, Essential Local Public Administrations, and Public Entities offering digital or critical services, as well as subcontractors and service providers supporting essential stakeholders.
The didactic methodology used for this training is based on a progressive learning model, articulated in micro-lessons delivered on a regular basis, to ensure constant and targeted skill enhancement, in line with the institutional and organizational responsibilities of the recipients.
Fulfill the obligations of NIS2
In the current socio-economic environment, increasing digitization affects every sector of society, making digital technologies an essential pillar for the functioning of institutions and organizations. However, the rapid adoption of technological innovation has often underestimated a crucial aspect: the robustness and security of the infrastructure on which our digital world is based.
The increasing interconnectedness of systems and networks exposes public institutions to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, turning cyber risk into a major global challenge. In this scenario, public administrations play a critical role in the security and functioning of the state; they provide essential services to the population and manage sensitive data, thus falling fully within the requirements of NIS2.
Cyber threats have two key characteristics that amplify their danger:
- digital interdependence-a single attack can propagate rapidly, compromising entire supply chains and critical infrastructure,
- anonymity–attributing responsibility for an attack is complex, if not impossible, hindering law enforcement actions.
To deal with these threats and ensure the security of essential public services, it is essential to comply with the training requirements of the NIS2 Directive, implemented in Italy by Legislative Decree 138/2024, ensuring greater awareness and preparedness in cyber risk management.
