Cybersecurity landscape and threats in Spain
Overview
Reports indicate a growing concern regarding digital security in Spain, driven by both geopolitical tensions and increasing incident volumes. The ESYS Foundation found that 64.3% of Spanish companies believe geopolitical tensions impact their cybersecurity, noting that such motivated attacks often aim for maximum damage rather than economic profit. Additionally, reliance on shared technology providers is viewed as a major obstacle to resilience for 65% of large European companies.
Regional data shows a significant rise in actual incidents. In Catalonia, the Cybersecurity Agency reported 6,544 unique incidents in 2025, nearly doubling the previous year’s count. In Galicia, the Agency for Technological Modernization detected over 4,300 incidents, with one in three targeting public entities. These trends have prompted regional industry events to foster collaboration against evolving digital threats.
