ASL Roma 1 CISO Stefano Scaramuzzino and Deloitte analyst Fabio Battelli write about how Italy's largest public healthcare system's HOPE initiative adds automated intelligence to its cybersecurity governance program. HOPE reimagines cybersecurity not as a defensive function, but as a living cognitive system that learns, correlates, and reasons across every layer of the healthcare ecosystem. It marks the birth of a new discipline for digital public health: operational intelligence for healthcare governance.

As Medicaid Cuts Take Hold, Rural Healthcare Cybersecurity Hangs by a Thread

Threat intelligence for operational technology environments differs from traditional IT threat intelligence. OT threat intelligence requires contextual, situational awareness that identifies vulnerabilities and anomalies, and also which assets, and in what part of the process, are exposed. It must also note what the safety and operational consequences would be if exploited. This context enables security teams to prioritize risk mitigation according to real-world impact rather than theoretical severity.
