Intesa Sanpaolo ranks 1st in the Detect and Tackle a Cyberattack Attempt contest

Intesa Sanpaolo has won the AIPSA Spike Reply cybersecurity contest for the second consecutive year. The AIPSA contest is organised by the Associazione Italiana Professionisti Security Aziendale (Italian Association of Corporate Security Professionals) in collaboration with Spike Reply, a Reply Group company specialised in consulting services and integrated business security & fraud management solutions.

The 2021 edition, entitled "Detect and Tackle a Cyberattack Attempt", saw 20 cybersecurity teams of large Italian companies compete and tested their skills in dealing with the simulation of a cyber-attack, replicating within the platform CyberBit the typical activities of a security operation center.

In defensive "blue team” mode, the 20 teams had the goal of completing their own "capture the threat" challenge in four hours, overcoming different types of challenges.

The Intesa Sanpaolo team, made up of a selection of highly qualified experts from the Security Operation Center and the Cybersecurity Incident Response Team, finished the competition with a full score.
