SIA creates CyberHub

SIA, the Indra Group company specialising in cybersecurity, has created and launched SIA CyberHub, a collaborative ecosystem designed to promote the evolution and innovation of cybersecurity in different regions of Spain, which will adapt its activity to the main demands that organisations and key entities or agents in the territory currently have in this area.

According to Roberto Espina, CEO of SIA, ‘as the largest Spanish company specialising in cybersecurity, creating these spaces for participation and joint work afterlife our own activity is an imperative for us in the fight against cybercrime, since the really effective way to advance is by sharing information and working as a team; our commitment, in this sense, is firm’.

The first step for this think tank will be the presentation of its Basque Country chapter in the BAT tower in Bilbao with the support of the Industrial Cybersecurity Centre (CCI), where organisations from the industrial and operational fields in the region and nearby areas, and other agents involved will join this meeting to address the current cybersecurity challenges in these environments.

Regulatory compliance, risk management and supply chain protection will be some of the issues addressed by the participants at the meeting, ‘key issues for adequately protecting operations, costs and reputation in this area,’ adds Espina. SIA has a specialised team and a comprehensive offering in this field to accompany organisations on their journey towards the paradigm of a protected organisation in the operational sphere.

SIA CyberHub will thus constitute a recurring meeting point for its members in each region, with the aim of identifying the greatest cybersecurity challenges they face, and establishing a collaborative workspace to respond to these challenges, through the joint research, design and development of innovative solutions or the continuous improvement of these. 

The initiative will welcome organisations and agents that contribute knowledge and value in solving current and future cybersecurity challenges: public and private organisations, leading companies, technology centres, cybersecurity experts, manufacturers, start-ups and research groups in this field. It will soon be extended to other regions of the country and will invite all local actors involved in the protection of cyberspace to join in order to strengthen the response to cyber threats.

SIA's commitment to the Basque Country is not only reflected in the launch of the first chapter of CyberHub in the region, but also in the company's recent expansion of local service, technical and equipment capabilities at its headquarters in Bilbao. In this way, it strengthens the attention, proximity and response to the cybersecurity demands of organisations in the area and turns the city of Bilbao into a strategic business point and a magnet for local talent in the north of the peninsula.
