COMUNE DI PORTO VIRO: SICUREZZA INFORMATICA PER LA PUBBLICA AMMINISTRAZIONE

MUNICIPALITY OF PORTO VIRO: IT SECURITY FOR THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The city of Porto Viro, in the province of Rovigo, is a town of about 15,000 inhabitants that has its roots in the Paleo-Venetian and Etruscan settlements of 1000 BC. It is the largest inhabited center within the Veneto Regional Park of the Po Delta, a unique flora and fauna environment of great national importance.

The administration of the city of Porto Viro turned to Lan & Wan Solutions to implement a homogeneous and proactive IT security policy in all municipal offices, aimed at keeping the level and supervision of security constant.

The Municipality has also decided to entrust the management and monitoring of the infrastructure and the delicate phases of prevention, detection, response and mitigation of IT risk to an external supplier.

The Lan & Wan Solutions project

Lan & Wan Solutions has created a complex project for the Municipality of Porto Viro, which has also seen an important phase of adaptation of the entire municipal IT infrastructure, both from a physical and logical point of view, starting from the review of the networking, to conclude with the installation of antimalware software for the workstations.

All LAN & WAN business departments were involved

  • The Infrastructure team took care of the adaptation and certification of the wired network in the six municipal offices, the drafting and certification of the fibers and the restyling of the IT racks present in the data centers.
  • The Networking team dealt with the redefinition of the routing policies, the implementation of the new Huawei core switch devices dedicated to the two data centers and the upgrading of the existing peripheral switches. In addition, the team coordinated, together with the IT manager of the municipality, the creation of the municipal Intranet together with the connectivity partner of the municipality.
  • The Security team together with the IT manager of the municipality and the DPO has defined IT security policies, including security update and patching policies to be distributed on the Authority’s systems. New Fortinet UTM devices have been implemented, in a redundant cluster configuration, creating an Intranet extended between 6 clusters, each for each municipal office. In addition, a new Trend Micro antimalware software suite has been implemented on all systems, including workstations.
  • The IT team took care of the sizing of the Syneto hyperconverged systems to which the application environments and data management are entrusted. In order to guarantee data security and operational continuity, Syneto systems have been set up to operate in the two different data centers, effectively implementing total replication of the application environments and the data they contain.
  • The Training team took care of raising awareness among all municipal users on Cyber ​​Security issues, with targeted classroom courses specific to the department.
