A study from Statista shows that in recent years Spain has been considered one of the most targeted countries in Europe, with 54% of companies experiencing a cyberattack. The Spanish cybersecurity market reached a projected €2.3 billion in 2025, with a growth rate of 10% and a highly competitive public sector which could bring in over €400 million in cybersecurity contracts in the years to come.
The EVP and CEO of Orange Cyberdefense, Hugues Foulon, says that “in the context of ongoing digital warfare, cybersecurity must be at the heart of every strategy. Cybersecurity is no longer just a necessary expense, but a pillar that transforms organizations and strengthens our economic resilience. As threats continue to intensify, Spanish companies need the support of a trusted partner – a market leader recognized for its 10 years of experience. Our entry into the Spanish market also illustrates the implementation of our strategic plan, ‘Trust the future,’ with the ambition for Orange Cyberdefense to achieve €2 billion in revenue by 2030 and to actively contribute to the essential European digital sovereignty of our businesses.”
