It will be a real laboratory for students, who will be able to make use of the most pioneering cybersecurity technologies and study the various types of threats and known cybercriminals, as well as their evolution. The Threat Hunting &amp; Investigation Competence Centre will serve as a platform for cyber investigation training for both university students and faculty. An initiative that is more necessary than ever if we consider how many computer crimes remain totally unpunished due to the <strong>lack of investigative tools and professionalism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_399 et_animated et-waypoint\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/temp_new.vmenginelab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/students-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Young student typing on laptop while her groupmates making notes at lecture\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" class=\"wp-image-34401\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_cta_312 et_pb_promo  et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_promo_description et_multi_view_hidden\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_button_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button et_pb_promo_button\" href=\"https:\/\/temp_new.vmenginelab.com\/2021\/07\/30\/quando-la-cyber-security-diventa-un-affare-di-stato\/\" target=\"_blank\">When cyber security becomes a &quot;state affair<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_1514  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><em>&#8220;The competence center becomes part of the numerous research and training activities promoted by Federico II in collaboration with the main players in the business sector, with the aim of cultivating innovation and mutual contamination<\/em>,&#8221; explains <strong>Simon Pietro Romano<\/strong>, professor of Computer Network Security at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unina.it\/home\">the Federico II University of Naples<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/strong> <em>The focus on cybersecurity represents a fundamental piece in the general mosaic of skills that are increasingly in demand in a social, political and economic context in which reality and digital spaces intersect and influence each other, in increasingly articulated ways.
