Numerical models for forecasts, software, and other IT tools require both the technology that allows their development and continuous updating, and the technical tools that enable their installation, configuration, and implementation of cybersecurity measures… More generally, the entire technical-operational architecture that ensures their proper and up-to-date functioning.
The Networks and IT Services area of CIMA Research Foundation operates in this sense, providing various types of IT and technological services to both internal staff and external users. In addition to IT activities (such as internal back-end services), it also manages the operation of the tools used by CIMA Research Foundation, ensuring their proper functioning and continuous operation, including interfacing with external users (such as public administrations and international civil protection operators). Moreover, it collects, analyzes, verifies, processes, and catalogs geospatial data—those wide sets of data that characterize a territory (in terms of population, social elements, infrastructure, geophysical characteristics, etc.), necessary for the development of geospatial information systems (GIS), systems used in disaster risk assessment and management cycles, in alert systems, and in the study of damage data.
The integrated approach of the area ensures that CIMA Research Foundation can effectively and accurately tackle environmental challenges, contributing to greater safety and resilience of territories.
