As a European leader in cybersecurity services, Orange Cyberdefense will bring its unique expertise to the Spanish market, with over 3,300 experts, 36 detection centers across 23 countries, and Europe's first private CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team).

To stay as close as possible to the cybersecurity needs of companies across Spain, Orange Cyberdefense teams will initially be based in Madrid and Barcelona, supported by a dedicated local Security Center (CyberSOC) to provide continuous human-led monitoring and rapid incident response. Initially 100 experts will be recruited to support this development. Orange Cyberdefense will offer innovative and tailored solutions adapted to the size and budget requirements of each company, while also drawing on MasOrange's extensive commercial network to address critical issues.

According to a study by Statista* , Spain has been one of the most targeted countries in Europe in recent years, with 54% of companies having experienced a cyberattack. The Spanish cybersecurity market was estimated to be €2.3 billion in 2025, growing at 10%, with a highly demanding public sector that could generate more than €400 million in cybersecurity tenders over the coming years.

Hugues Foulon, EVP and CEO of Orange Cyberdefense: “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.”

Meinrad Spenger, CEO of MasOrange: "Cybersecurity has become a top priority for our clients, including businesses, public sector organizations, and individuals. Thanks to MasOrange's modern and advanced fiber and 5G connectivity infrastructure, combined with the expertise of a European leader like Orange Cyberdefense, we will create a unique market offering, establishing Orange Cyberdefense Spain as a benchmark in digital protection for customers across Spain."
