Stefania Ranzato

Stefania Ranzato is an Italian entrepreneur with over 10 years of experience in the cybersecurity sector, having previously held managerial and entrepreneurial roles in the publishing and digitalization industries.

She graduated in Political and Economic Sciences from the University of Padua and has always approached entrepreneurship by focusing on the adoption and development of national cybersecurity solutions and their application to the Public Administration sector, with particular emphasis on Defense and national critical infrastructures.

From the outset, Dr. Ranzato wanted to accompany this initial approach with the creation of a solid team of Artificial Intelligence (AI) experts. With proprietary algorithms developed for Defense, they enabled the application of AI to malware analysis and enhanced the analysis and action capabilities, including preventive measures, of the pre-existing SIEM and SOC in primary central and local administrations.

With this innovative vision, Stefania Ranzato then sought to develop the strategic sector of military exercises in operational contexts for the Armed Forces, especially the Air Force and the Navy, also developing skills in requirements engineering, which are critical for the national military air and naval industries.

The evolution of global geopolitical scenarios led Dr. Ranzato to explore other areas of security engineering, including radio frequencies, the development of satellite solutions, and the field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) (military drones), to counter these threats in operational environments.

Moreover, she focused on "skills", building a team of experts in the Cyber sector capable of making a significant and distinctive contribution to cyber defense solutions and adopting more offensive postures to enhance these specificities in strengthening the national defense infrastructure.

In 2018, Dr. Stefania Ranzato founded DEAS – Difesa E Analisi Sistemi Spa, which today is one of the leaders in the Italian cybersecurity sector, with over 150 employees and a turnover exceeding 25 million euros.
