Barcelona is preparing to host the Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress from May 13 to 15, solidifying its position as a global leader in cybersecurity. The sixth edition of the event will take place at the Fira de l’Hospitalet de Llobregat, where more than 11,000 visitors are expected, along with around 70 exhibitors.
Carles Flamerich, one of the founders and directors of the congress, has emphasized the transformation of cybersecurity, which has evolved from a technical topic for specialists to an issue of general interest for the public. Flamerich highlights the need for cybersecurity to be perceived as an integral part of everyday life. “We need it to be present in our lives as a concept,” he emphasizes, underscoring the fundamental role that events like this play in raising that awareness.
The congress aims not only to attract industry experts but also to engage society in a matter of vital importance. This year, relevant topics such as the Zero Trust model, cloud security, data protection, supply chain security, and new European regulations will be discussed, along with the impact of artificial intelligence on digital security.
Highlighted activities will include the Hacking Village, the Industry Solutions Awards, and various keynote speeches from renowned speakers, all aimed at creating an environment of culture, innovation, and digital security. These initiatives foster a conducive space for the exchange of ideas and business connections.
The main goal of the congress, according to Flamerich, is to normalize the conversation around cybersecurity, making these meetings an essential tool for a safer life in an increasingly digital world. As the public becomes more involved in this area, it is anticipated that cybersecurity will become a commonplace and fundamental topic in our lives.
