ComoLake 2024 − Alessio Stellati, Country Manager Italy, Rubrik

Cybersecurity Urgency in Digital Healthcare

Rubrik’s Country Manager for Italy, Alessio Stellati, discusses cybersecurity at Como Lake 2024, with a particular focus on why the topic is especially urgent in digital healthcare.

He highlights that multiple studies and statistics show ransomware attacks are ongoing. Healthcare organizations are a particularly affected industry because patients’ health data—and therefore real-world outcomes—are at risk, leading to serious consequences.

Why Prevention Isn’t Enough

Stellati argues that cybersecurity can’t be treated only as prevention. Attackers are becoming smarter and increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies. Because of this, organizations must assume they will be targeted eventually and be ready to:

• Respond quickly
• Respond safely

Rubrik’s Role: Data Security and Cyber-Resilience

Stellati positions Rubrik as a data security and cyber-resilience provider. He explains that Rubrik’s approach helps both public and private customers:

• Protect data
• “Restart quickly and safely” after an attack

Rubrik’s Evolution and Proactive Detection

He also describes Rubrik’s evolution from an initially backup-oriented company (founded about 10 years ago) into a broader, continuously advancing technology platform. A key component is proactive detection, including:

• Identifying anomalies or “data behavior” patterns
• Anticipating cyber risks
• Understanding the “blast radius”—the likely impact of a ransomware attack across company infrastructure, including which types of data could be affected
