Italy’s increasing adoption of "smart work" (remote and hybrid work models) has been a key driver of SSL VPN demand. The Italian National Cybersecurity Strategy (NCSS) 2022-2026 outlines policies to strengthen cybersecurity in critical sectors, government agencies, and financial institutions, boosting investments in remote access security. The Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR), Italy’s national recovery plan, also includes significant investments in digital transformation, cloud security, and secure communication networks. With Italian businesses adopting more cloud-based IT infrastructures, demand for scalable and secure VPN solutions continues to rise, ensuring protected remote access and data security. Thus, as Europe continues to enhance its cybersecurity frameworks and adopt cloud-driven IT strategies, SSL VPNs will remain a critical security component for businesses across the region.
