State-of-the-Art in South Adriatic
Here you find a brief of the SoA in the South Adriatic regions regarding the level of development and recent enhancements of Digital Infrastructures. These contents represent the results of an assessment on digitalisation conducted within public entities of the involved regions by local working groups.
SoA in Italy
Almost all municipalities (96%) have initiated cloud migration projects, with 68% already completed. Around 70% have begun decommissioning local servers, while 50% report having a Disaster Recovery system in place.
Half of the municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants have a bandwidth availability above 100 Mbps, but nearly all of them have more than 10 Mbps. However, smaller municipalities face connectivity challenges: over 80% of municipalities under 5,000 inhabitants have contracts with bandwidth below 100 Mbps, and for the 30% is less than 10 Mbps.
Backup lines are available in over 80% of large municipalities (>100,000 inhabitants) but only in about 43% of the smallest ones.
Cybersecurity is an essential element in the strategic direction of about half of the municipalities. But awareness, skilled resources and training in this field is still fundamental since phishing is the most common cause behind security breaches, there is limited implementation of incident management protocols and the 10% of entities do not even know whether they had cyberattacks.
