Abstract
Governare la fragilità digitale
La fragilità digitale non nasce soltanto dagli attacchi informatici o dai guasti, ma dall’intreccio tra dipendenze tecnologiche, complessità organizzativa, concentrazione delle risorse, vincoli normativi e pressione crescente sulla continuità dei servizi. Governarla significa affrontare la resilienza come proprietà sistemica: capacità di prevenire, assorbire, adattare e ripristinare, mantenendo al tempo stesso controllo, sostenibilità e qualità operativa. L’intervento propone una lettura integrata delle infrastrutture digitali come sistemi complessi, in cui robustezza e continuità non possono essere separate dai temi dell’efficienza energetica, della sicurezza, della ridondanza, della misurabilità dei rischi e della capacità di evolvere senza aumentare vulnerabilità e lock-in. Accanto alla riflessione qualitativa, saranno richiamati indicatori quantitativi utili a leggere affidabilità, impatto, costo della discontinuità e capacità di adattamento.

Abstract
Managing Digital Fragility
Digital fragility does not arise solely from cyberattacks or technical failures, but from the interplay between technological dependencies, organisational complexity, concentration of resources, regulatory constraints, and increasing pressure on service continuity. Governing it means addressing resilience as a systemic property: the capacity to prevent, absorb, adapt, and recover, while maintaining control, sustainability, and operational quality. The contribution proposes an integrated reading of digital infrastructures as complex systems, in which robustness and continuity cannot be separated from issues such as energy efficiency, security, redundancy, risk measurability, and the capacity to evolve without increasing vulnerability and lock-in. Alongside this qualitative perspective, quantitative indicators will be introduced to assess reliability, impact, the cost of disruption, and adaptive capacity.
