Malaga will be the place chosen by the Andalusian Government to locate the Andalusian Cybersecurity Agency, an entity whose creation is reflected in the Andalusian Digital Law (LADI) that will be published shortly. This was confirmed today by the Minister of the Presidency and Interior, Antonio Sanz, a new commitment to the city of Malaga that has become the Andalusian Silicon Valley, not only because of the employment that the technology sector generates (with large companies based on Malaga soil , such as Google) but also by the spaces dedicated to new technologies.
With the agency, “one more step will be taken to consolidate Andalusian leadership in cybersecurity,” said Sanz in the announcement made during a meeting held at the Andalusian Cybersecurity Center (CIAN), also in Malaga, with the vice president. of the European Commission Margaritis Schinas.
The draft of the LADI draft, which will be published shortly, includes the objective of the new agency to provide trust and protection to citizens, private companies and public institutions in the Andalusian digital ecosystem.
The counselor showed Schinas the CIAN, where the headquarters of the Cybersecurity Operations Center (SOC) of the Government of Andalusia and the ARGOS Project are located, an initiative coordinated by the National Cybersecurity Institute.
He highlighted that this center is “one more example that the Andalusian Government is fully aligned with the European Digital Compass 2030”, since it has set the challenge of the community being “100% digitalized by that date”.
The Andalusian Government is going to invest 1,000 million euros until 2027 to achieve digital transformation, of which 200 million have already been executed. Of the total, 326 million come from European funds and are managed by the Andalusian Digital Agency (ADA).
