Spanish industrial and logistics sectors have begun prioritizing cybersecurity to address expanding digital exposure and new regulatory requirements, such as the European NIS2 directive and the Cyber Resilience Act. Industry experts have emphasized the need to integrate IT and OT environments, identify critical risks, and establish incident response plans to protect supply chains.

However, the country is facing a significant increase in cyber threats. The National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE) reported 122,223 incidents in 2025, a 26% increase from the previous year, with malware and AI-enhanced phishing being primary concerns. This rise in attacks coincides with legislative delays in transposing the NIS2 Directive into national law, a situation exacerbated by the dissolution of the Spanish Parliament, which experts warn leaves both companies and public administrations more vulnerable.
