Corporate | Cyber Security Leonardo, how big data and artificial intelligence support Risk Management

As part of the Insurance and Welfare Festival, organised by the CLASS CNBC group, Carlo Zaganelli, Head of Enterprise Risk Management at Leonardo, participated in the panel "Big Data & AI for Risk Management and Customer Experience Optimisation. The Word to Customers". During his speech, Zaganelli highlighted the fundamental support of big data analytics and artificial intelligence for the risk management of a large global technological player like Leonardo, as well as of its entire supply chain.

Resilience is becoming ever more important in Leonardo and in its partner companies, which are increasingly exposed to cyber risk. Working on risk prevention and management is therefore essential, even more so in a global geopolitical scenario of uncertainty in which new critical issues emerge that impact business management and company organisation.

Carlo Zaganelli starts from this premise to underline how investing in artificial intelligence and big data analytics is now a priority for the company, to protect itself from cyber risk due to the enormous amount of external information that must be processed. A broad-spectrum protection that must not only safeguard internal company processes, but also strengthen the resilience of its customers. The essential core of this activity is the advanced supercomputing capacity that Leonardo has to support all Risk Management processes.

"There is a need for resilience throughout our company's ecosystem," Zaganelli continues, "which is why Leonardo is paying great attention to its supply chain, which extends globally and is largely made up of Small and Medium Enterprises, supporting their path towards digitalisation and the resulting need for protection from cyber risk."
