In this episode of Diritto al Digitale, we explore Italy’s bold move to criminalize ransom payments in response to the growing threat of ransomware attacks. With Italy ranking among the top ransomware targets globally, a new legislative proposal aims to disrupt the business model of cybercriminals by banning ransom payments for critical infrastructure operators, mandating rapid breach notifications, and recognizing ransomware as a national security threat.

Giulio Coraggio, technology and data lawyer at the global law firm DLA Piper, breaks down the key elements of the proposal, the legal and strategic implications for companies of all sizes, and the controversial balance between resilience and compliance.

What is a ransomware attack, and why is banning ransom payments both a radical and risky move? 

How can companies—especially small and medium enterprises—prepare for a future where paying a ransom is no longer an option?

We also discuss the role of education in strengthening cybersecurity culture, and Italy’s ambition to lead Europe in the fight against cybercrime.
