León, cybersecurity hub
The province of León is home to the headquarters of INCIBE (Instituto Nacional de Ciberseguridad), Spain’s national reference body for cybersecurity. Its presence has generated an ecosystem of companies, startups and security professionals that have turned León into an attraction pole for the industry.

The ecosystem
Around INCIBE, a business fabric has developed that includes security consulting firms, startups, training centers and professionals who work remotely from León.
León proves that you don’t need to be in Madrid or Barcelona to be at the forefront of Spanish cybersecurity.
