A Cuppa Confusion: Musk, Mattarella, and the Italian Judiciary

Elon Musk’s recent critique of Italy’s legal system, shared with his characteristic flair on X, has left many of us wondering: is there a manual on how to become an expert in everything while understanding, well… not very much? Musk’s comments about our judiciary showed all the tact and insight of a bull in an Italian china shop. His misunderstanding of Italian law and apparent dismissal of President Mattarella’s statement reminded us that perhaps being a billionaire doesn’t make one a constitutional expert. To start with the basics, the Italian judiciary isn’t exactly a family-run business where a friendly politician…

The Cyber Resilience Act: Because One More Cybersecurity Requirement Couldn’t Hurt, Right?

Antonio Ieranò Security, Data Protection, Privacy. Comments are on my own unique responsibility 🙂 Just when you thought that European cybersecurity regulations couldn’t get more comprehensive after NIS2 (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) and DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), here comes another major legislative package to keep you on your toes—the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). With digital threats evolving faster than most businesses can keep up, the European Union has taken yet another bold step to safeguard the integrity of connected products and digital services across the single market. While we’re already busy grappling with the complex frameworks introduced by the NIS2…

Cybersecurity Regulation: A Global Overview of Standards and Regional Approaches Influenced by Legal Systems

Antonio Ieranò Security, Data Protection, Privacy. Comments are on my own unique responsibility 🙂 October 10, 2024 NOTE: this is the second part of the short analisys I have been required, enjoy 🙂 Introduction In today’s increasingly interconnected world, where digital infrastructures underpin critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and energy, robust cybersecurity regulation has become paramount. Cyberattacks are growing in both frequency and sophistication, making it crucial for countries and regions to implement strong cybersecurity frameworks. These frameworks are shaped not only by the evolving nature of cyber threats but also by the underlying legal systems that influence how laws…

Regulation of Generative AI Across Global Jurisdictions: A Comparative Analysis

Antonio Ieranò Security, Data Protection, Privacy. Comments are on my own unique responsibility 🙂 October 10, 2024 NOTE: I wrote this because of a specific request, hoping that could be useful for a more larger audience. Introduction The regulation of generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) represents a significant and increasingly complex issue in the global technological landscape. With the rapid advancement of AI technologies, particularly in the field of generative models, regional differences in regulatory frameworks are becoming more pronounced. The European Union (EU), the United States (U.S.), and China, as three of the leading powers in AI, have adopted divergent…

Italian PiracyShield: An Hermeneutic Disquisition on the Shadows of Digital Control

Antonio Ieranò Security, Data Protection, Privacy. Comments are on my own unique responsibility 🙂 October 10, 2024 Preface: The inspiration for this reflection comes from none other than our esteemed Italian Minister of Culture, whose lofty rhetoric has brought to light an implicit truth: perhaps the real issue with the Italian government’s understanding of anti-piracy legislation lies not in intent, but in the debased, impoverished language that has veiled this matter. Ah, yes! It could well be that the inadequacy of verbal expression has obfuscated the complexity and the depth of a digital system that defies the simpleminded rhetoric of…

8 Marzo – March 8

Mary Wollstonecraft’s 1792 work, “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman,” champions women’s legal equality and acknowledges their social significance. The text serves as a reminder of the principles behind International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8th, advocating for recognition and rights.

Buone Feste, Happy Holidays

Siamo prossimi al Natale! We’re Close to #Christmas! Siamo tutti più buoni! Everyone is good! Come tutti gli anni dovrei avvertirvi di non cadere in truffe, finte collette e cose del genere. Like every year, I should warn you not to fall for scams, fake fundraising and things like that. Ma quest’anno ho deciso di cambiare! But this year, I decided to make a change! Per #Natale e #Capodanno basta cadere in #truffe da sconosciuti. For #Christmas and #NewYear, stop falling for #scams from strangers. Basta #donare a persone che non avete mai sentito nominare con storie strappalacrime! Stop #donating…

Natale, Anno Nuovo, Epifania e lo scam me li porta via.

E siamo ancora sotto le feste, e ci troviamo ancora a dover ripetere, come tutti gli anni, le stesse cose. Chiunque, come me, lavori nel campo della sicurezza informatica sa che non vi è niente di piu remunerativo che far leva sui sentimenti per estorcere dati, denaro o entrambi alle persone. E le feste, come le disgrazie, sono un momento fantastico per fare leva sulla percezione ed i sentimenti della gente per trarne profitto. Purtroppo il fenomeno non solo diminuisce, ma assume ogni anno nuove vesti e nuove forme, navigando tra social media, email, siti web e pubblicità online. Per…

A year lived turbulently

Can you make a resume of the year even if we are only on November 14th? And why not? First of all, I wanted to apologize to those who had wondered what happened to me, but it has been an intense year from different points of view: personal, work and family. I have significantly reduced my presence here for reasons of survival; I put in good intentions to return. A difficult year. It started under the signs of the pandemic and the war, and then cancer to move on to stratospheric energy bills, to the damage of bad weather, to…
