The AIPSI OAD 2024 initiative started in mid-January 2024.
With this edition OAD reaches the 17th consecutive year of online investigations into intentional digital attacks on companies and public bodies in Italy (2007-2023).
OAD is the only initiative in Italy carried out with a strictly anonymous survey addressed to all companies, of every product sector and size, and to Public Administrations, via an online web questionnaire with pre-set answers that can be filled out with any modern browser.
The online questionnaire is typically addressed to IT Systems Managers (CIOs), System Administrators, IT Security Managers (CISOs), Third Parties who manage the digital security of their customers, and for small and very small organizations, the top managers (CEOs) and/or owners which decide strategies, budget and plans for their information system and their cyber security.
The OAD main objective is to analyze and spread as much as possible the actual reality of cybersecurity and of intentional digital attacks on the information systems of companies and public bodies in Italy, as well as the security measures in place. The OAD questionnaire is anonymous, independent, authoritative and freely accessible by any person who operates and/or decides in the field of digital security.
AIPSI requests free patronage from all non-profit associations in order to be able to extend, through their associates and interlocutors, the pool of potential respondents to the online questionnaire and then of the readers of the OAD final report.
Sponsorships are requested and necessary to be able to pay, at least in part, all the professional activities that AIPSI must carry out for the OAD 2024 implementation.
