In occasione della Festa dei Lavoratori, il sindacato CISAL-SIBC-ACN — primo e maggiormente rappresentativo all’interno dell’Agenzia per la Cybersicurezza Nazionale (ACN) e del CSIRT Italia — ha proclamato lo stato di agitazione sindacale.
La decisione arriva a soli sei mesi dalla precedente mobilitazione e denuncia gravi criticità: opacità nei meccanismi di reclutamento e carriera, ritardi nell’istituzione del fondo pensione e nel welfare aziendale, carichi di lavoro eccessivi per il personale del CSIRT, e un clima descritto come intimidatorio verso chi solleva obiezioni. Il sindacato chiede l’avvio urgente delle procedure di conciliazione.

Combine that with the SCA of the PSD2 Directive (EU 2015/2366) which mandates banking 2FA and EBA's opinion on SCA (EBA/OP/2019/06) telling banks to use PushTAN and suddenly your rights to use your device how you see fit are worth nothing.
