L’evoluzione tecnologica della sicurezza fisica

“Il sistema gas in Italia ed in Europa, un’infrastruttura critica e strategica del Sistema Paese”

Andrea Chittaro

Head of Corporate SecuritySnam S.p.A.

European economic, geo-political and energetic context is evolving

continously. A Critical infrastructure like the one Snam is managing must

take into account this evolution and get ready to re-organize fast and

efficiently its business processes.

‘’…and yet, though its nature

be such, it does not follow therefore that men,

when the weather becomes fair, shall not make

provision, both with defenses and barriers, in such

a manner that, rising again, the waters may pass

away by canal, and their force be neither so

unrestrained nor so dangerous.’’

N.Machiavelli, The Prince, Chapter 25

Cyber Security Management

CYBER SECURITY is about securing things

that are vulnerable through ICT.

The defining characteristic of cyber security is

that what is to be protected should be

protected because of the security challenges

posed by the use of ICT: also information that

is not digital can also be vulnerable through

ICT (it includes nature, animals and people)» *

The Dispatching Centre is responsible

for monitoring and remotely

overseeing the whole Transportation

Network.

In 2015 Snam obtained

the ISO 22301*

certification

SNAM RETE GAS Transportation Integrated Network

*In 2014 SNAM RETE GAS got the ISO/IEC 27001 Certifications for Technology Management Process, responsible for all dispatching technologies.

ThreatIntelligence

Detect

A continously evolving market brings also a continous

evolution of threats.

Analysis is essential to develop an effective prevention

model for every kind of rising threat.

This activity gives also a great support for travel

security and asset protection.

Threat analysis is needed to

preserve the company

reputation.

Semantic Intelligence

Platform

The real possibility to face continously evolving threats makes mandatoryestablishing trusted relationship with both private and public players, in orderto share informations on common interest issues confidentially and securely.

Information sharing makes possible a stunning growth of the level of availableskills and of readiness and reactivity in facing threats.

Advantages directly arising from Infosharing activities:

Upgrade of own defense line based on informationshared by different members

Prompt Access to selected information stemming from aworldwide net of players and organizations

Opportunity to perform test and simulations on "realoperating areas" (for example, with critical infrastructuresindustry players)
