Poste Italiane signed a memorandum of understanding in Geneva with IMPACT (International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber threats), the world’s first joint public-private organisation to create a “community” that brings companies specialised in the ICT sector together with the Institutions in order to guarantee the global security of IT communications. The agreement was signed by the CEO of Poste Italiane, Massimo Sarmi, and the Chairman of IMPACT, Mohamed Nour Amin, in front of Hamadoun Touré, Secretary-General of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) the UN agency that specialises in Information and Communication Technology, and Edouard Dayan, Secretary-General of the Universal Postal Union, the UN agency that specialises in postal services.
“Cyber Security – declared the Minister for Economic Development, Claudio Scajola - is now a priority on the institutional agenda. This is why the Italian Government intends to lend its full support to the plan organised by Poste Italiane and to international cooperation in the sector, in order to support the development of policies aimed at guaranteeing security in digital communications”.
“The agreement signed today with IMPACT – said the CEO of Poste Italiane, Massimo Sarmi – affords further international recognition to the work carried out by Poste Italiane to ensure all kinds of communication – including communication via web – is secure, to the benefit of institutions, businesses and private individuals. We are proud – the CEO added – of the support and the boost ITU and IMPACT will guarantee for our Cyber Security projects, and we are aware of the importance of representing a benchmark model for innovation”. |
