For ITALIANSPED, the IT security of its customers and partners is essential.
The Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions have led to an increase in the use of online transactions and payments. While this has accelerated digitalization, it has also resulted in more opportunities and methods for persons committing businesses fraud.
Practices such as phishing (fraudulent email), smishing (SMS scams) and vishing (telephone scams) are commonplace and mainly seek to violate personal data, commit identity theft or redirect payments to scammers’ bank accounts.
To counter and minimize the risk of any IT fraud for its partners, ITALIANSPED has strengthened its commitment to cyber security by using innovative technology and cutting-edge IT tools in close collaboration with the Group's IT department; it also provides operating guidelines, applies security procedures and organizes specific training courses for employees.
To promote cooperation and awareness, we therefore invite our customers to promptly call their ITALIANSPED contact by phone should they receive any payment messages containing bank details other than those in their possession.
