Cybersecurity, a market with a lot of potential.
The cybersecurity sector is one of the most profitable sectors at the moment. Spanish companies lost €14 billion to cybercrime last year. Almost thirteen thousand incidents were recorded in Spain, of which 132 were considered serious. This market presents an opportunity for Spanish companies as there are firms with leading solutions such as: S2 Group, S21 Sec, GMV, Indra, Panda and Telefónica. This week we have learned that two large companies have opened cybersecurity centres.
