DFA Open Day 2026: Cyber Warfare

A full day on cyber warfare, hybrid threats and critical-infrastructure defence, run by the Digital Forensics Alumni association in the Aula Magna C03 of the Università degli Studi di Milano, Via Mangiagalli 25. Five panels: geopolitical risk and its cyber consequences, with Andrea Billet of ACN and Mark W. Lowe; the move from cyberwarfare to hybrid threats, with Regione Veneto and Assinter Italia; protection of critical infrastructure, with CSI Piemonte; IT supply chain and digital sovereignty, with Pierluigi Perri of the Università di Milano; and a closing session on continuous forensics with Mattia Epifani and Selene Giupponi of Women4Cyber. Opening remarks from DFA, ANRA and Assintel. Registration from 8:30, sessions 9:00 to 17:15, lunch included in the schedule. Why go: the speaker list is practitioners and regulators rather than vendors, and the supply-chain and sovereignty panel is the one most Italian security teams are currently short of answers on. Best for CISOs, forensics practitioners and public-sector security staff.
