Kingdom of Spain · INCIBE-anchored delegation
No photo yet — not yet visited
Spain brings a government-anchored delegation to RSA, typically led by INCIBE (the national cybersecurity agency) with a cohort of startups drawn from its acceleration programs. The pavilion also tends to include a large telco presence — Telefonica Tech has become a genuine cybersecurity player, not just a connectivity vendor. Expect the EU regulatory angle to dominate talking points: NIS2 transposition, DORA compliance, and the Spanish implementation of the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
Spain's cybersecurity market is mid-tier by European standards but growing fast — driven by government digitization mandates and a wave of EU funding through the Recovery Plan. The startup cohort is worth scouting: several Spanish cyber startups have built solid NIS2/DORA compliance tooling that has real market ahead of it in 2026.
Spain's national cybersecurity agency for citizens and businesses, under the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Runs the national CERT (INCIBE-CERT), a startup accelerator (INCIBE Emprende), and awareness campaigns at national scale. The anchor presence that legitimizes and organizes the whole pavilion delegation.
Spain's national cryptology center, operating under the CNI (intelligence service). Handles cybersecurity for public administrations and classified government systems. Publishes the CCN-STIC security guide series — the technical bible for Spanish government IT procurement. More defense-oriented than INCIBE; presence at RSA is worth noting.
Cybersecurity and cloud division of Telefonica, Spain's telecoms giant. Covers managed detection and response (MDR), SOC-as-a-service, zero trust, and cloud security across Europe and Latin America. One of the few Spanish companies that can credibly compete at enterprise scale globally — their LatAm reach is a genuine differentiator.
Valencia-based cybersecurity firm specializing in critical infrastructure protection, OT/ICS security, and national defense cybersecurity. Strong track record with Spanish public sector and energy clients. One of the more technically credible independent Spanish cyber houses — worth a real conversation if OT or critical infrastructure is relevant.
Rotating cohort of Spanish cybersecurity startups, typically backed by INCIBE's Emprende accelerator or CDTI (state innovation funding). Areas to expect in 2026: NIS2/DORA compliance tooling, identity and access management, AI-driven threat detection, and cloud security for mid-market. These are the ones worth spending time on — smaller, hungrier, and often solving problems the EU regulatory wave just made mandatory.
