At the core of the initiative are cyber training, institutional building and the development of networks among public administrations.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\"><strong>Italy\u2019s evolving cyber engagement in Africa.<\/strong> The Med-Or Italian Foundation hosted in Rome the closing event of CyberBridge, a cybersecurity training program involving 30 public officials from nine Sub-Saharan African countries. The initiative, funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and developed together with the National Cybersecurity Agency, with operational support from Leonardo\u2019s Cyber &#038; Security Solutions division, offers a fairly clear picture of how Italy\u2019s presence in the African continent is evolving.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The point goes beyond the project\u2019s technical dimension alone. CyberBridge rather reflects an attempt to build more structured cooperation around digital security, a sector now increasingly considered an integral part of institutional stability, critical infrastructure protection and public governance.<\/li>\n<li>In the statement released at the end of the initiative, the project is described as a tool to strengthen \u201cinstitutional and operational capabilities\u201d in the cyber domain, within a context shaped by Africa\u2019s rapid digital transformation and the growing number of cyber threats targeting governments and strategic infrastructures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Building institutional and operational capabilities.<\/strong> The program was structured in several phases: initial assessments in partner countries, introductory online modules, immersive activities and cyber exercises at Leonardo facilities, specialized training at the National Cybersecurity Agency including a visit to CSIRT Italia, and a visit to Leonardo\u2019s Global Cybersec Center in Chieti.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Within this architecture emerges a cooperation model combining diplomacy, strategic training and the security industry.
