GMV is providing the service for the Cybersecurity Operations Center (CiberSOC in Spanish) of the network known as Red.es. It will be doing this through the company’s GMV-CERT Center for Excellence, which is recognized as a member of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), an organization that brings together incident response and security teams from all countries worldwide. GMV is providing services that will help increase the overall level of cybersecurity and cyber resilience for the Red.es assets and business processes, in line with the Spanish government’s National Cybersecurity Plan.

GMV-CERT has a group of experts who are responsible for developing preventive and reactive measures, with its activities focused on implementing tools that will allow performance of rapid and accurate security investigations. With a track record of more than 25 years in the area of digital security, GMV has acquired the extensive experience and know how needed to ensure the success of the CiberSOC project for Red.es. In addition, providing security management services for Red.es on such a long-term basis has given GMV a large body of relevant knowledge regarding that network’s organization, operation, and structure.

The head of GMV-CERT, Óscar Riaño, explains why contracting SOC services is so important: “These days, in a scenario of such rapid digitalization, we have all become aware of the importance of cybersecurity during the process of implementing and offering services from cyberspace. Having SOC services available in those situations will help ensure that all of the information can be managed under adequate conditions of integrity, confidentiality, and availability. These services also demonstrate an organization’s commitment to addressing the operational aspects of cybersecurity, which must be understood as an essential and central aspect of quality and continuity for any kind of internal or external services being provided.”
