Italian term or phrase: presidio del mercato
This is from a piece about an IT system for financial trading, talking about the company's mission:

"razionalizzare i processi operativi ed amministrativi ottenendo una maggiore efficacia nel presidio del mercato, una riduzione dei rischi operativi e notevoli efficienze gestionali."

What do you think is meant here by 'presidio del mercato'?

agree  Giles Watson: It doesn't mean much more than presence in the market. See for ex 'tuttavia sembra improbabile un coinvolgimento che vada oltre il semplice "presidio" di mercato': http://www.imli.com/imlog/archivi/cat_avvistamenti.html

(more effectively) to defend our market share


Explanation:
You could put it that way. Just putting "market" for mercato doesn't really cut it. They are referring to their market share, and how to defend what they've got.

"...rationalising operations and administrative processes thus enabling us more effectively to defend our market share, reduce operations risks and obtain substantial management efficiencies."
