Innovation in industrial cybersecurity


7th January 2025


AirFIELD Security, a young startup born out of the University of Genoa, is redefining the concept of cybersecurity for industrial networks.
Founded by researchers from DITEN (Department of Naval, Electrical, Electronic, and Telecommunications Engineering), the company has developed a solution powered by AI (Artificial Intelligence) that can detect cyberattacks and malfunctions in industrial control networks in real time, ensuring the safety of both systems and people.


The platform also integrates advanced Machine Learning and Deep Learning technologies and stands out for its innovative approach—addressing the growing threat landscape through custom-built solutions, rather than adapting existing ones. The product has already secured a pilot project with Ansaldo and plans for further expansion.


AirFIELD Security is answering the growing need for critical infrastructure protection in an increasingly cyber-vulnerable world.

In an age where cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, protecting industrial control networks has become a top priority.
At AirFIELD Security, a university spinoff from the University of Genoa, we are taking a step forward in this field with an innovative product that leverages Artificial Intelligence to monitor and safeguard critical infrastructure.


The heart of AirFIELD Security is placed in its nature as a spinoff: a product born from academic research in industrial cybersecurity, now evolved into a practical solution for the market and companies.
Our system is designed not only to detect cyberattacks, but also to identify anomalies caused by equipment malfunctions, by monitoring industrial control networks in real time.
In doing so, it ensures operational continuity and the security of critical infrastructure.
AirFIELD Security aims to stand out for the quality of its product and to meet the growing demand for cybersecurity in the industrial world.

An event dedicated to cybersecurity experts


November 2024


The opening of CSET Week featured an initial gathering held at Villa Lo Zerbino (Genoa, Italy).
The Cyber Security for Energy & Transport Infrastructure (CSET) 2024 conference was an exclusive event held in November 2024 at the historic Palazzo della Borsa in Genoa, focused on cybersecurity and the pressing challenges it faces in today’s complex landscape.


The conference, opened by HWG Sababa ([link to homepage]), welcomed a total of 150 guests from the world of cybersecurity and critical infrastructure.
Participants engaged in rich and thought-provoking discussions on corporate security.
In this context, AirFIELD Security took part in the event, presenting our vision of innovation in cybersecurity, highlighting how Artificial Intelligence can serve not only the protection of industrial networks, but also the safety of production facilities, helping to safeguard both infrastructure and human lives.

An oportunity for young talents and local businesses


6th October 2024


The University of Genoa has launched the Contamination Lab project, engaging 40 young talents in a training program focused on starting and managing new businesses, while also encouraging creativity and innovation. This is made possible through the creation of multidisciplinary teams working on real-world challenges proposed by companies as well as on university research projects.


During the project’s kickoff event, several experts emphasized that the CLab represents not only a "business culture," but also a real opportunity for young talents—while also generating value for companies and the broader region.


Notable speakers included the Rector of the University of Genoa, Professor Federico Delfino, who highlighted how the project is an opportunity to develop transversal skills and problem-solving abilities.
Giovanni Gaggero, President of AirFIELD Security, also spoke about how CLab enables the transformation of a research idea into a market-ready product.
Technology transfer is a key process for bringing academic innovations into the real world, creating new businesses and opportunities.
