Poste Italiane not only manages Italy’s postal service but also provides a group of related products, such as communications, logistics, and financial services.They are currently in the process of establishing a Cyber Security Center of Excellence in Rome, Italy.This Center of Excellence will have a global focus and partner with other international and national organizations to further the field of cyber security research and create a community of stakeholders around the world to pursue these issues.It will also include training and education programs to help identify threats and prepare the international community for solutions.
Mason, working through the Center for Infrastructure Protection, will have the opportunity to collaborate on joint cyber security research and development, advise on cyber initiatives and policy developments, assist in developing international cyber cooperation, develop and conduct training or other cyber security educational efforts, and exchange academic materials and other information.
The Center for Infrastructure Protection is proud to be implementing this international relationship and advancing its mission of studying and solving infrastructure protection related issues across all sectors, especially the Cyber Sector, one of the most fastest-growing.This is the beginning of a fruitful collaboration.

Critical Path: A Brief History of Critical Infrastructure Protection in the United States
This book features the work of the PCCIP, the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, and its landmark 1997 report "Critical Foundations: Protecting America’s Infrastructures" The Commission's findings represented a paradigm shift in how infrastructures, risk, and security, were perceived by both policy-makers and the general public. Since then, it was understood that organizational and structural interdependencies require all sectors of society to coordinate their protection efforts; an approach that proved to be essential in managing the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.
Through unprecedented access to the decision-makers and participants in the PCCIP, this book gives a rarely-seen inside view of the events and processes that lead to "Critical Foundations."
