The editors of the CLUSIT Report include the best-known authors and analysts of the evolving cyber threats on the Italian scene. Among them TG Soft and in particular Gianfranco and Enrico Tonello, again this year, had the honour of making technical contributions.

The pandemic year, as the report highlighted, records a 12 percent increase in global cyber attacks from the previous year.
The analysis of the attacks, targeted mainly through ransomware (that have seen a strong growth), sees the technical contribution of TG Soft, as a specialist of field-verified Ransomware attacks actually circulating in Italy, analyzed and studied at our AntiMalware Research Center (C.R.A.M.). The contribution was written by Gianfranco and Enrico Tonello, co-founders of TG Soft and co-authors of the AntiVirus, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware, AntiRansomware Vir.IT eXplorer PRO software.

Back in 2018 TG Soft was commissioned to write an article for the Clusit Report 2018, titled: 'Ransomware 2017 in Italy - WannaCry, NotPetya/EternalPetya, BadRabbit... but not only'.
The contribution was written as a follow-up to the study that had been published independently by Gianfranco Tonello co-founder and CEO of TG Soft, on ransomware attacks in Italy entitled "Ransomware 2017 Italy", which analyzed the major attacks from July 2015 to February 2017.
This Research and Analysis activity by TG Soft's AntiMalware Research Center allowed Gianfranco and Enrico Tonello, as subject matter experts, to be involved by CLUSIT for the 2021 edition as well.
TG Soft Cyber Security Specialist is a CLUSIT member and Eng. Gianfranco Tonello co-founder of TG Soft is a CLUSIT lecturer and a valued editor of articles and technical analysis on malware and ransomware as well as a speaker at Webinars and conferences on these topics.
