Fata Informatica

Operating from Rome since 1994, Fata Informatica is an Italian IT company that combines cybersecurity, managed data centre services, software development and professional training. Its guiding principle is that defence starts with understanding one's own weaknesses, so it combines experience, people and technology to find those weaknesses and design effective defences. Its own count is more than thirty years of research in information security.

Managed data centre services

Clients can hand over the day-to-day management of servers, storage and networks while keeping overall control of their IT. The company monitors performance and business indicators. Its monitoring product, Sentinet3, is aimed at a market the company divides into organisations lacking monitoring tools and those drowning in them. Gartner has, the company reports, named it the only Italian vendor among the world's leaders in IT monitoring.

Security operations, testing and simulation

SOC+ is offered as a service covering a client's whole cybersecurity strategy, alongside vulnerability assessment and pen testing, which keeps digital information under steady watch. A dynamic threat simulation service tests infrastructure against realistic, up-to-date cyber threats, and security awareness services help staff recognise them.

Open source and secure software

The company's open source competence centre is central to its work. Sentinet3 is described as the first system developed from open source code. Its software development aims at secure and efficient applications, and it offers a source code check that finds and fixes errors introduced during development.

Training and accredited certification

Companies and individuals can take professional training that leads to internationally recognised certifications. Fata Informatica holds accreditation as a personnel certification body, granted by Accredia, the national accreditation authority that Italy's government designated. Its certifications in ethical hacking, security operations, digital forensics and information security management are registered in that body's database, and the company says they meet Italian standards and law.

Clients and collaborations

The company has served prominent public and private organisations in Italy for more than twenty-five years, and it collaborates with universities.
