ECIJA participates in the CIBERGalicia Space Congress 2025
The CIBERGalicia Space Congress 2025 has established itself as one of the main forums for discussion on digital protection, risk management, and cyber resilience culture in Spain. During the event, representatives from the public, academic, and business sectors analyzed the evolution of the threat landscape, the increased exposure to cyberattacks due to the use of public networks, and the new obligations arising from European regulations regarding digital security.
Among the main conclusions of the meeting, experts agreed that connecting to public networks without adequate protection measures constitutes one of the main entry points for cyberattacks. The need to verify sources and links, adopt safe browsing protocols, and consider cybersecurity as a competitive advantage and a strategic axis in business management was emphasized.
ECIJA's Participation: Legal View on Corporate Cyber Resilience
Jesús Yáñez, partner at ECIJA specializing in cybersecurity and technological law, participated in one of the round tables of the congress, where he addressed the legal implications of using public networks and the corporate responsibility arising from incident management.
In his presentation, Yáñez highlighted the increase in legal and regulatory demands regarding cyber resilience, reminding that companies must align their internal policies with the new European framework for cybersecurity and cyber resilience.
“Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue; it is a legal obligation and a management responsibility. Organizations must integrate cyber resilience into their corporate culture to anticipate risks and protect their reputation,” he noted.
The ECIJA partner also emphasized the role of digital compliance as a forecasting tool against potential sanctions for data breaches or deficiencies in incident response protocols.
The congress featured the participation of recognized specialists such as Pilar Vila (Forensic & Security), Joaquín García Alfaro (Institut Polytechnique de Paris), Lilian Adkinson (Tarlogic), and Antonio Bernárdez (InprOTech), as well as a live technical demonstration by dooingIT.
With their participation in CIBERGalicia 2025, ECIJA reaffirms its commitment to training, prevention, and legal advice on cybersecurity, assisting companies and institutions in designing digital protection strategies and regulatory compliance in the face of growing technological risks.
