Providing regulatory tools appropriate to people's needs, expectations and well-being
August 2, 2019 - "Growing complexity is a feature that distinguishes all large infrastructures worldwide. However, this complexity also makes infrastructures intrinsically fragile with respect to extreme events. In fact, the more complex the system, the more it is exposed to a series of threats of an accidental nature , willful or linked to extreme climatic events". Prof. states this with reference to the sabotage that paralyzed Italian railway traffic on July 22nd. Roberto Setola, director of the II level university Master's degree in "Homeland Security" of theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma. "This scenario requires us to intervene with an overall vision that integrates technological, organizational and regulatory solutions. In fact, it is necessary to give the public authorities and private entities responsible for the management and protection of these infrastructures regulatory instruments appropriate to the needs, expectations and to people's well-being".
"At European level - continues the prof. Bristle - Italy is one of the few nations that does not yet have specific legislation on critical infrastructures. In fact, in 2011 we implemented the European directive on critical infrastructures but we have not created a regulatory framework on national critical infrastructures. It must be said that a different sensitivity on the subject is developing thanks to the impetus given by Palazzo Chigi which, since October 2018, has activated a task force. This, also thanks to my very small support, is proceeding with an initial mapping of what are the critical assets at a national level and will be the starting point for starting to define an organic approach to the matter".
Critical infrastructures and their security is the main theme of the Master Homeland Security whose XII edition will start in March 2020.
