The BCI and ISMS Forum announce new alliance at the VI Regional Cybersecurity Forum of Galicia
At the 6th Regional Cybersecurity Forum of Galicia, held in Coruña, Spain, prominent leaders and cybersecurity experts gathered to discuss the challenges and advancements in the field of cyber security. The event was attended by Miguel Corgos López-Prado, Minister of Finance and Public Administration of the Xunta de Galicia, who highlighted the importance of this meeting: "This is an essential event for the exchange of knowledge about cybersecurity in the community." He also emphasized that Galicia, "despite being one of the most dispersed territories in the country, acts as a unit of destiny, taking on the responsibility of collaborating against threats and complex tasks."
The event included ten presentations addressing current topics such as the Nis2 regulation, artificial intelligence (AI), and deep fake. It provided a platform to exchange ideas and solutions among attendees, consolidating Galicia as a reference in this field.
