Data Continuum: Where data flows, and security is king

Data Continuum: A context where data is strategic

We live in an environment where data flows continuously between devices, applications and cloud platforms. This Data Continuum opens up new opportunities for innovation, but also increases the risk exposure surface. In a context marked by the rise of increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks, security is no longer an isolated element but the axis that governs the entire data life-cycle.

• This conference responds to this need and generates a space for dialogue where knowledge, experiences and good practices can be shared.
• This conference is for companies, institutions and professionals working in cybersecurity and data processing who are looking to strengthen their operational resilience.

Women4Cyber as a driving force for talent and community

Women4Cyber was created in 2018, supported by the European Cybersecurity Organisation (ECSO) to empower and raise the profile of women's participation in the field of cybersecurity. Women4Cyber Spain started in 2022 and last year its Women4Cyber Euskadi node was created thanks to its ambassadors, TECNALIA colleague Ana Ayerbe and Izaskun Onandia (ITP Aero) together with SPRI (Basque Business Development Agency).

Since then, the initiative has been connecting and inspiring professionals to build a more secure, innovative and diverse digital environment. Through activities such as CybHerTalks, the W4C Startup School and mentoring programmes, it promotes female talent and generates real opportunities in the sector.
