Cybersecurity

The paper investigates the Italian legal framework regarding cybersecurity public procurement. First, the rules introduced by the (Italian) 2023 Public Procurement Code are explored. Secondly, the residual legal framework is examined: both the general one applicable to all public administration (including within the [Italian] National Cybersecurity Perimeter), and the special one intended for tendering procedures launched by the (Italian) National Cybersecurity Agency. The necessary role of public actors in promoting and disseminating cybersecurity culture is highlighted.
