About Cyber Act Forum
Cyber Act Forum is an annual in-person event that brings together national and international cybersecurity experts, government authorities, and industry professionals at the University of Tuscia in Viterbo, Italy. The forum combines keynote speeches, roundtable discussions, and technical talks with networking sessions, serving both technical practitioners and executive-level attendees.
The event operates under the theme that the future is inseparable from security, positioning cybersecurity awareness as essential across all sectors of society and business.
Technical and Strategic Topics
The programme addresses both offensive techniques and defensive strategies. Technical sessions cover multi-factor authentication bypass methods and Electro Magnetic Fault Injection Fuzzing, a hardware security testing approach. Strategic discussions examine hybrid warfare and its cyber dimensions, protection of critical national infrastructures, and leadership approaches to cybersecurity management.
Artificial intelligence features prominently, with specific attention to its applications and implications within public administration contexts.
Cross-Sector Focus
Cyber Act Forum emphasises that cybersecurity challenges extend beyond traditional technology sectors. The event examines risks and protective measures relevant to banking, agriculture, and public administration, reflecting how digital threats now affect organisations regardless of their primary industry. This cross-sectoral approach aims to foster collaboration between stakeholders who might not typically engage with one another on security matters.
Industry and Association Support
The forum has secured backing from established cybersecurity organisations and vendors. Platinum sponsors include Exein, WeSecure, ZTE Italia, Syneto, NIS Group, and Group-IB. Gruppo Galagant serves as gold sponsor, with Ergonet as silver sponsor. Partner organisations include Clusit (the Italian Association for Information Security), AIPSA, IISFA, OSINT Italia, RedHotCyber, SecurityCert, Würth Phoenix, and HackInBo.
Who Should Attend
The forum targets a deliberately broad audience. Security practitioners including CISOs and security directors will find technical content relevant to their operational responsibilities. IT managers and business leaders can engage with strategic discussions on cyber resilience. Public sector officials benefit from sessions addressing government-specific challenges. Students and private citizens are also welcomed, reflecting the event’s awareness mission alongside its professional focus.
