The Internet of Military Things (IoMT) or the Internet of Things on the 'battlefield', applied to the context of military operations and national security., was the core theme of the Webinar held by CLUS-IT, the Italian Association for Information Security, on 9 October 2023. Francesco Taccone, CEO of negg Group attended with strong interest along with speakers such as Angelo Tofalo (CEO AT Agency), Nicola Grandis (CEO ASC27srl and AIDA46srl) and Dario Evola (CTO Olidata). During the Webinar, Taccone shared his perspective on the crucial applications of Artificial Intelligence to cybersecurity to anticipate and prevent cyber threats, thus contributing to the reinforcement of the national security perimeter. In his speech, he highlighted a series of key elements to contribute to the advancement of this field, among which he emphasised the importance of supporting and promoting the qualitative heritage of Made in Italy both in terms of defence and proactive approach, stressing that focusing on the territory and the excellence that is built in it is essential to hold a strategic advantage mark created by the sense of belonging and common responsibility in protecting and improving our country. Another particularly significant aspect addressed by the negg Group CEO was the call for the involvement of young people, most of whom attended the event, who will determine, as Taccone states, 'the future generation of cybersecurity leaders and guardians'. With this message, the negg Group CEO wanted, and wants, to exhort the future professionals to stick to and embrace an ethical approach in the management of AI technologies and to develop out of the box thinking capable of dealing with the ever-emerging challenges in the world of cybersecurity. Francesco Taccone's participation in CLUS-IT Webinar was a remarkable moment for the company, as he pointed out the strategic importance of AI as a tool to improve cybersecurity and emphasised the crucial role of youth in shaping the future of national security in Italy and worldwide.
Summer is the time of high temperatures, sunshine and endless days at the beach, but it is also the right opportunity to recharge the batteries after months spent working on many projects, with the aim of getting back on track and facing the challenges of the new year. We all feel the need for a holiday, some time to free our minds from the constant flow of information; that is why we decided to take a break that would not make us miss it too much... For the August break, in order to maintain a constant connection and closeness with our community, the negg marketing division proposed a fresh, light and 'summery' approach as a new communication strategy. The 'Summer Challenge: The team under the sun' was developed with the aim of giving a breath of fresh air, staying connected even if 'offline', by sharing those unique moments that our team members experienced during the summer break; exotic destinations, new culinary experiences, adventures in contact with nature and experimenting with new potential and promising hobbies. The strategy, developed to make the team a leading player once again, saw its active involvement in sharing several significant nuances of this summer; for this reason, every member was asked to feel free to shoot some photos, which were later shared as instagram stories, based on three themes: an "outdoor adventure" such as visiting a special place or going on a trip, trying a "summer skill" out, like approaching a new sport or trying new experiences out of our comfort zone, and a "sustainable activity" intended to deliver a green lifestyle. This challenge is not just about the picture itself, but about the emotions that that precise moment is able to generate; for this reason, in addition to the contents, it was asked to send some quotes to clearly express the type of sensation that the experience evoked and, later, put everything inside various polaroid-like layouts, in order to stay solid to what the main concept of the challenge was: impress a valuable summer memory. For negg, staying connected and united is crucial, especially when physical distances seem to increase, and in this technology and digital advancement offer a great contribution, but at the same time, let us not forget how important it is to 'unplug', step away from the displays for a while and 'photograph' each moment first with our eyes and only then pull out the camera. With regard to the work-life balance, we are convinced that being able to find time for ourselves in such an interconnected and hectic age is crucial in order to enjoy the simple aspects of our daily lives and at the same time functional to ensure a serene and stimulating work experience. The intention of this initiative, which, in its own small way, involved every member of the team, was precisely to immerse you in snippets of everyday life, providing a closer look at our more human side. In a daily grind of goals, how often do we stop to reflect on how important it is to take care of our passions and needs? Investing time in ourselves allows us to get our energy back together and return to work with greater motivation, focus and creativity. So remember: allow yourself some moments to recharge your batteries and live them as intensively as possible.
Over the weekend of March 24-26, 2023, negg® Group took part in the 5th edition of the Cassini Hackathons Italy at the Fiera del Levante in Bari. The event, final act of the CASSINI Hackathons & Mentoring, allowed us to contribute to a unique project that involved ten European nations; over 800 entrants throughout Europe took on the application of European Union space technologies for the development of innovative solutions and new business models in the area of security and defense, referring to challenges and thematic areas such as land mobility, maritime security, and critical infrastructure protection. During the three days, each dedicated to the presentation of themes, creation of teams, realization of ideas and presentation of the final project, negg® engineers had the opportunity to collaborate with various teams, each with different backgrounds but united by a lively common interest towards the cyber security sector and our company. The Italian event, organized by Planetek Italia and Sprint Lab, got us cooperating with important national and international organizations of the aerospace sector and not: the European Space Agency (ESA Φ-lab), the Italian Space Agency, the Pugliese Aerospace Technology District, Women in Aerospace Europe, the University of Bari, the Polytechnic University of Bari, and other industry companies. It has been 48 hours of technology; a unique opportunity in Italy and Europe for the growth of young people, who had the opportunity to come in contact with stimulating and engaging professionals, but also for us at negg® to get inspired from the professionals of the future. Our congratulations go to the 3 winning teams: FireWatch, with a solution for the protection of critical infrastructure; SAR4SAR, with a solution to support Search and Rescue activities at sea; FEMMAN, for best representing the values of "Diversity & Inclusion"; Alessia Marchionne, awarded as Hacking Talent. Francesco Taccone, CEO of negg®, who was not able to be present, joined the event remotely sending a video message to wish good luck to all the participants. It is always a great emotion for us at negg® Group to take on challenging, dynamic, and above all, young contexts such as the CASSINI Hackathons & Mentoring and it has been an honor to be part of this year's CASSINI Hackathons Italy; we are excited for the opportunity to live this experience, contribute to the creation of innovative solutions and get to know the such brilliant minds, main characters of the event.
